I Thought there Were golden Leaves upon the Ground beneath my gold Ginkgo, alas~~ only Yellow frost bitten grass lies Left wet from yesterday's winter Rain, as the almost bare limbs shiver In the icy northwesterly brisk breeze I, also shiver inside our heated Home, stripped bare of youth, vitality In the winter of my short life Here on Jesus' created Earth, experiencing all His creation's joy Such a short time Just a drop Compared To Eternity The Book Of John 1st Chapter

So uplifting! Our anxieties on earth are short compare to the life that God prepared for us ahead.

JCB, Your comment is uplifting. Yes, it is hard to phantom forever with our human brain. Only God can understand eternity and little children. Thanks for the visit to my page. Sara

Your poem is very powerful, Sara. Many of us can relate to the sentiments on aging in the "short" lives we are given. The photo looks like a passageway, perhaps to a better life. Love the poem, especially the way you separated "to" and "Eternity." Hugs, Carolyn
