Aging Vintage
Aging Vintage
Your vintage wine of yesterday
perhaps was bitter, perhaps was fine.
But then you could not know the taste
brewed as today's more robust wine.
Today's wine, dry or sweet, is based
on what was served you in the past.
But fickle future stirs the brew
That makes anticipation last.
So digest past drink up today,
hold high the glass of your tomorrow.
When all is done, you will have drunk
The wine of happiness and sorrow.
