The Swan of Melody Glides with beauty across the staves of life She has sung many roles Each more challenging than the last Her arias have thrilled many But now, the performance is over, and the crowd has gone on its way. She continues to swim For swim she must to sing her next song Her voice, once beautiful, now bears the scars of life She still continues to sing Her arias thrill fewer But the performances are shorter, and the crowd seeks her less each day. Time continues to turn The swan still swims, her voice almost stilled No longer does she thrill the once cheering crowd But her voice still holds beauty For the crowd of one Who has waited his whole life for this one performance. ----------------------------------------------------------- That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

A lucky one indeed. Very sweet poem. Kind of sad though. Friends are friend forever if the Lord's the Lord of them and a friend will not say never cause the welcome will not end. --Michael W. Smith |

Loved the imagery here, Sven. Touching every step of the way...I, too, loved the ending. No song is wasted as long as someone enjoys... Thank you again. |
