Unmatched Beauty and Antique
Remember that first house , car or fantastic date
when new was where it was at and don't be late
As time flies by all that new just fades silently away
to become the antiques of a glorious yesterday!
That house built a hundred years ago simply glows
with artistic works that seem to speak as it grows
Staircases , doors and hand blown colorful painted glass
a beauty appreciated because it sings and somehow lasts
That car you sported about with such delight and pride
later you saw newer, sought better and set it aside
Now many decades later it is wanted by collectors galore!
they make offers that make your jaw drop to the floor
That date kept its magic in memories so sweet and fine
even better if what you gave you got back in kind
If you married her and a loving family did happily take seed
consider fate was kind and gave you exactly what you need
Consider the greatest antique that man has ever known
on it all things and human life has blessedly grown
No price can be put on its true majesty and worth
we are part of it and remain wedded to our Mother earth....Robert L.
