COMPARISON
Can I compare you to a summer's day?
No, winter has come and you now are old,
The golden glints in your hair have turned grey
Snow will soon fall and your eulogy told.
Once so cheerful,energetic and bright,
Sipping summer's wine from a loving cup
You tasted it's fruits, a pleasant delight,
No longer a child, you became grown-up.
Life carried on at an unhurried pace,
As you believed life was just for living
Even though old with a now wrinkled face
Still go on with your lessons in giving.
Now most of winter's have passed, but instead,
There are eternal summer days ahead.
