Men and women devote their lives
Seeking and searching for gold
Clamoring they must prepare for
The time when they are old.

Once upon a wedding day
A couple joined in a close association
with hopes of love and good fortune to stay
That brought a state of euphoria to them
...
My chair is rocking back and forth,
Gazing at the scarred mountain slope.
Behold - an inactive mine and coal breaker
And a mound of refuse with little hope.
...
There was a spirit of friendly fellowship
In the Family Reunion Days of long ago
When the young and old gathered together
And softened the day's beautiful glow.
...
The beauty of a Summer's day begins
Watching the bright, morning sun rise,
Dew upon the lawn and roses,
And the early flight of colorful butterflies.
...
The town is strung with crystal wires,
A spectacular view at the ice storm's height,
While carpets of silver drape the highlands,
And drooping branches are coated white.
...
Oh Lord - give me the strength to be a caring teacher,
Cognizant of all children who need a helping hand.
Give me the tolerance to assist those
Who are struggling to learn and understand.

Looking out across the land,
I see a sight that is not so grand.
A scene that is eerie and still,
But as the sun set behind the distant hill,
...
It is the first game of the football season
At most colleges and universities across the land.
Dedicated and loyal fans will enter the stadium
Thinking of a successful season beforehand.
...
A teacher will guide you in many ways,
Displaying patience and inspiring hope,
A knowledgeable person with a spirited soul,
Preparing you to be in a position to always cope,
