Life's Pattern - Referential Contest

Life is like a pure glass goblet Molded from the beginning Etchings are added like memories Each one carefully placed Home is represented by a firm line Showing the beginning of life Followed by the ups an downs of growing up Here the pattern begins Love and marriage follows next Children added to life's  total The hearts and tiny flowers Are etched upon the glass Old age quickly follows The etcher with expertise Entwines the flowing line So that the picture is all as one Life's pattern is etched for eternity Unless carelessness causes  the glass  to be shattered, gone for evermore.
