Like a Brook

Like A Brook
Life is time of changing courses ,
Changing moods an altered will –
Like a brook that changes pathways
Through the woodlands ,fields and hills ;
It is time of changing values –
From beginning to its end –
Where we choose ,with growing wisdoms
Newer course ; better friends .

There are years of rushing splenders ,
Reckless thrills and lustful fonds ;
Times of tears that flood and threaten
Loves of life and human bonds ;
Years of struggle – trail and error –
When we reach for higher goals ,

Searching life for truth and comforts
That are balm for heart and soul .

Then there come the years of ebbing ,
In the quiet pool life ,
Where there are no rushing waters –
No demands of youth or strife ;
Graceful years that hold no changes
For our courses ,wills and ways –
Where the lord make calm the waters
That precede our Judgement Day .
