Beauty Before Age

Beauty Before Age

Some, opening doors, say “Age, before beauty,”
their egos totally engaged;
those walking through; think it’s their duty;

All Leaves Must Fall

All Leaves Must Fall

Leaves must fall in the proper season;
it’s part of the Master’s plan;
it isn’t our place to determine a reason;
such isn’t the province of man.

The Ghost Of Will

The Ghost Of Will

When someone dies; they leave a will;
all legatees it mentions;
expecting those, left behind, will fulfill;
and honor all intentions.

Multiplicity

Multiplicity

It seemed, at least, two lifetimes ago;
I was a child in a family of five;
by comparison, life seemed to move slow;
now I’m the only one, still alive.
