The gentle voice, <br />The mother's choice, <br />The garden of healing, <br />The better feeling. <br /> <br />The beating of wings, <br />The timely Spring, <br />The beautiful flowers, <br />Oh, what nature can bring. <br /> <br />The study of books, <br />The learning again, <br />The uphill struggle, <br />The lessening of pain. <br /> <br />Houses of healing, <br />And starry nights, <br />Warm by the fire, <br />And feeling alright. <br /> <br />Sowing of seeds, <br />Meeting of needs, <br />Warm by the fire, <br />And feeling alright. <br /> <br />The painting of pictures, <br />The discovery of talent, <br />The immersion in culture, <br />And the life I meant. <br /> <br />The philanthropist emerges, <br />In man and beast, <br />The patient accrual, <br />Of wisdom to meet. <br /> <br />The quiet days spent, <br />Pondering what God meant, <br />The Family Christmas's <br />And the Mistletoe kisses. <br /> <br />The fulfillment of dreams, <br />By many years hard work, <br />The return to peace, <br />Its at your feet.<br /><br />Anthony Dover<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/odyssey-of-ages-part-3-postern-of-fate/
