Where have the days flown, when time unhurried moved slow,
Families stayed close,
Kindness outshone all worldly show,
Helping hands were many, hearts all aglow.
Moments lingered like a gentle song,
And love carried us along.
Will those days ever return?-
Allow no other to cast their shadow on your light,
For your identity shines uniquely bright.
An insignia born of your own design,
A treasure rare, uniquely thine
-
Light as a feather on a bird’s soft wing,
Unburdened, rising on the breath of spring,
Where zephyrs cast gentle spells,
Glissading with celestial swells,
Beyond the dusk’s gentle glow,
This is the life I yearn to know.-
Beat thou the clock, for fleeting is the hour,
A timely stitch doth wield great power.
Rise with the dawn, whilst hope yet gleams,
Lest tardy hands should shatter dreams.
Spend not the day in slothful rhyme,
For none can turn back Time’s stern chime.
-
As the seasons pass in silent grace,
And the pages of your story turn,
Carry the child within you
Where the wonder of joy will always burn.
In quiet corners of your soul,
Where time and memory softly meet,
Linger echoes of innocent dreams,
Still tender, wild, and bittersweet.
Though years may weigh upon your frame,
And shadows fall where light had been,
The child in you still knows the way,
To find the sun and smile again.
So when the world feels cold or wide,
And weariness begins to show,
Let that small voice rise in your heart
The one that danced through long ago.
-
Seek no mirrors to reflect your light, nor the applause of fleeting fame,
For true worth, like stars, needs no acclaim.-
Why wait for a crisis to look up?
Why wait for their absence to force you to be present?
The wealth you inherit is the time you invest with the people you love. Don't let a screen steal that inheritance.-
Why search the world for the key to your peace?
The treasure is in your heart, and the key has been in your pocket all along.-
