Epigram Phases For Life

Phase one – you learn and grow. Phase two – life’s path you show through seeds you sow. Phase three – you may not recognize yourself in the mirror. Phase four – Is it really so Golden if you've made it to here? July 25, 2018 for Kevin Shaw's 'Life or Death Epigram' Contest

No gold here Andrea. Just layers of a oxidation.

Golden is the reward if Phase 1 thru Phase 3 were lived to the hilt! Too many take their one life and just exist. We need to take risk, love well, and live gold!

Andrea, you have scripted our whole lives in just 4 tender phases...I hope we all can make the next 5 or 6...or even the next one (lol). Great epigram and best wishes for a win in the contest...Charlie

They need to rename the golden years to olden years. However I would not want to return to youth if I couldn't take wisdom with me. A great entry Andrea! You have been a busy bee. : )

I think it is only golden to those that have made it, to the youngsters we are a bunch of wobbly crinklies :) . Excellent write , Andrea, thought provoking. Good luck in the contest. Viv x
