Life Leaf Thinly Covered In Gold

Death we shall meet that circle of life

we know all too well promises of tomorrow

they are gifts gilded covered thinly with gold leaf

it is not promised to us by no means

 

So enjoy the rapture of love

the intimacy of sweet embrace

the eloquent sound of your lover's voice

sway with love like the willow tree

that blows gingerly upon the winds of change

 

Enjoy the children;

that laughter that comes from their hearts.

 

For they are the spring well to all life

remember death is always knocking at your door

and always remember that life is a gilded gift

a leaf thinly covered in gold life.
