A dream

To leave a precious parcel -
an everlasting gift -
in the pathway of others
to give a special lift.

Plaintive strains and whispers,
a haunting melody,
something sweet and timeless
for everyone to see.

Some treasured gift...
only mine to give
to go down the ages
with a destiny to live.

As the lights grow dim
and the stars begin to fade,
I hope this jewel will sparkle
this jewel that I have made
