Birds fly
The horizon meets the sky
babies still cry
Flowers Bloom
There's still a moon
Songs have a tune
Girls Dance
And dream of romance
Men notice and glance
Bees Buzz
We think back to what was
Just because
Water splashes
Rain falls against sashes
Tears fall from our lashes
Coins jingle
people still mingle
Some wish they were single
Things change
and sometimes rearrange
Life can be strange
little ones scamper
clothes go in the hamper
Sisters pamper
Happy makes smile
Sadness lingers a while
Some walk down the aisle
Sun shines
and later reclines
and sip wines
We pay our dues
Some have the blues
and wait for good news
Wheels of fortune spin
and some never win
That's a shame and a sin
Wind blows
And nobody knows
until it comes and goes
Mothers love
As does God above
Soft as a dove
Elderly ache
and recall each mistake
they ever did make
Kindness if free
As it ever should be
Would you agree?
Children play
and pass time away
and wait for their day
True Friendship mends
and makes amends
and never pretends
True love lasts
some say love lasts forever
some insist it does never
Music sounds
and reverberates and rebounds
and lifts up our downs
Shiny things gleam
may not be what they seem
might be just a dream
Flowers wilt
pretty things decay
some last for only a day
Hearts never age
and remain on the stage
with each turning page
Doors open
Some doors close
Truth will eventually expose
Love relies on fate
Ever we wait
Please don't be late
