The Golden Age
What a picture this does bring
having reached this golden age
many decades has passed through
dance like one free from life's cage
Having lived and loved all this time
unbroken from many a storm
being forgiven so hold no grudges
raises you high above the norm
Let one's voice raise the roof
no matter what's in or out of tune
be free so joy sounds abound
living as if all the years June
O to feel and know of heaven
down here effecting every day
nothing but goodness and mercy
makes one always want to stay
These golden years has reached to fill
us with experience of ages past
glory in pleasures been given
to live each day as our last
(this is based on the following quote)
'DANCE as though no one is watching
LOVE as though you've never been hurt
SING as though no one can hear you
LIVE as though heaven is on earth' - Anon.
