THOUGHT FOR THE MONTH

My Mother

AN AGED FACE

Like a glorious sunset in a Western sky,
so is the light in an aged eye.
As a fertile field that has felt the plough,
Such are the lines on a furrowed brow.
As a rainbow glows in the sky above,
So does the voice of years speak love.
Warm as a day on a tropic isle,
This is an old and tender smile.
Old lips, though faded, bring to me,
A token of sincerity.
Like wine that makes emotions rage,
So do WE mellow more with age.
To wear the look of fallen snow,
That tries to cling to long ago.
As sunbeams shine in a holy place,
Such is the beauty of an aged face.
