Like a Brook
Life is time of changing courses ,
Changing moods and altered wills –
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 courses; better friends.

There are years of rushing splendors ,
Reckless thrills and lustful fonds ;
Times of tears that flood and threaten
Loves of life and human bonds ;
Years of struggles- trail and error –
When we reach for higher goals ,
Searching life for truths and comforts
That are balm for heart and soul .

Then there come the years of ebbing ,
In the quiet pool of 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 makes calm the waters
That precede our Judgment Day
God Bless ,
