Golden Years

The day's wound down, its course's been run
  The moon's a reflector, long gone's the bright sun

Your offspring transition to destinations far-flung
  At work your job goes to a much younger one

You pack your boxes, put your house up for sale
  Retirement villages beckon with their 'Holy Grail'

You're about to enter your Golden Years
  Whence all your doubts?  Where from your fears?

Sand Blown Date: 8/20/2018 11:52:00 PM well written phrasing..."the moon's a reflector"...everything on this planet is a reflector, we're just a bigger moon Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 8/21/2018 8:26:00 AM I like that thought, sand blown. Very poetic! Best wishes, Gershon
