Throughout the Years

Throughout The Years
(Anaphora)

The years faith made life worthwhile
The love of family and friends happy smile
The guidance and blessings from above 
The special joy touching my heart with love
The heavenly stillness in the starlit night
The always colorful beauty of twilight 
The wonderment beyond the clouded sky
The sadness grief that makes the heart sigh
The golden ripened fields of blessed grain
The joyful ride on the cross country train
The blessed harvest wealth before the snow
The festive holiday meals by candle glow
The welcome ice cream truck upon the streets
The summer fun and moms delicious picnic treats
The autumn haze and the cooler air it brings
The lovely chirping songs the crickets sing
The many thoughts that our minds entertain
The loves inner feelings at times hard to explain
The life’s mixture of sunshine and the rain
The life’s laughter, teardrops, pleasure and pain
