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.
