An Age For Ever

An age to cry,

When mom cradles to wipe them dry

An age to school,

Friends, teachers and memories full

An age to college,

Dreams galore as we fathom knowledge

An age to struggle,

Sweat and toil with them we juggle

An age to engage,

Love and faith we together uncage

An age to strength of vows,

Care and nurture together we espouse 

An age to loneliness,

Time and age the moments we embrace…
