Gold

The gold wedding ring a symbol of a knot,
To keep always unclouded and untainted,
A close tight promise to sustain and to hold;
To safeguard from evil not to be contaminated.

Spring announced gloriously by blooming flowers,
With a better climate and less atmospheric chills;
The fresh leaves sprouting in abundance on trees,
While the fields astonish with the vast daffodils.

The Christmas tree standing tall,
With animated lights on every branch;
Wrapped unevenly with golden tinsels 
Decorated with golden baubles hanging.

Thanksgiving a festive adored and cherished,
With food of plenty and drinks for merriment;
Pumpkin pies and roasted turkeys and stuffing,
Presented by butterballs to compliment.

The sun blazes in a lonely blue sky,
As the camels stroll along and assert;
On a drawn-out and tiresome stretch,
Of golden sands of the Sahara Desert

As many devotees celebrate the crucifixion,
The sombre churches filled with prayers;
Children waiting anxiously for the third day,
To open their Easter eggs in gold wrappers.

The cold weather in many winter days,
Dressed up in woolen clothes to keep warm;
The fireplace blazes with golden flames;
Watching from the window a heavy rainstorm.
