Lifetime treasures

Lifetime treasures

Sound of rustling through the trees
Scent of flowers upon the breeze
Warmth of sun upon baby's cheek -
These are the treasures for the meek.

Touch of frost upon the ground
Sounds of music all around
Rambling roses growing wild -
These are the treasures for the mild.

Stacking bricks all coloured bright
Learn a rhyme and say it right
Accepting teacher's word is rule -
Treasures for the child at school.

Starlight shining in the sky
A maiden flirting with her eye
Stolen kisses under moon above -
Treasures for the young in love.

Photo album thumbed and torn
Baby's keepsakes old and worn
A peaceful finish to the day -
Treasures for the old and grey.
