A Mother's Time

A Father's time's seen in his graying beard
    A Mother's time is respected, revered

  Father's grow old; they're let go
    The sparkle of age in a Mother glows

But, papas are beloved too, the wisdom found in the greying beard is much missed in my life. My dad was so wise, strong, and caring. The 1960's song 'My Dad' used to make me cry as a child because it was so like my own dad. I will never let him go from my heart and memory. We so miss him. He was loved so very much! Silver and gold are both very precious treasure :)

Father Time and Mother Nature, quite a pair :)

Hm. Hadn't thought of Father Time and Mother Nature as a 'pair.' Interesting. Thanks, Michelle
