Stages of Gathering Dust
Youth speeds out the driveway slings
dust and rocks, leaving mayhem
Accelerates, wrecks occur in wake
Those youthful little gems_
Adults settle somewhat yet still
gathering dust 'pon faults.
Able to brush away the dust
Clean up rest with bath salts.
Seniors worst personality traits
Like dust gathered just stay
Hanging upon every deep rut
Unless strong efforts play.
Winter with cold, rain, snow, and sleet
Won't wash the dust away
The winter of youth's life will cling
Gathering dust more each day
