a single, beautiful, clear, golden note starts a symphony, and a fresh, new Spring bud becomes a pretty flower. an acorn grows into an oak, just as a young lad once made a life. but that's only half of the story. even an oak's limbs one day dry, and a blossom's petals drop. when the music's over, the glory lingers as an old lad wistfully shuffles out.
