Notes About The Poem

Golden Moments

Writers write, walkers walk, 
Singers sing, talkers talk
Who are we to measure 
The merits of mortals.
We wear these clothes, 
Agree and disagree,
for awhile. 
Our Journeys traveled 
All the same
With tear or smile. 
Gifts are given, 
Gifts received,
In haste of youth 
We are deceived.
Payments given, 
Bargains sought 
Or bought.
Dreams we live in, 
Glimpsed 
But never caught.
To every stage 
A curtain comes,
To every age 
Certain sums,
And in the end:
We were always 
Someones golden moment.
