This Globe is a Glimpse

             of the Galaxy.

 This Earth is a tiny Etching

             of Eternity.

 Life is a Limited Look

             at Real Living.

THREE SCORE AND TWO

‘Tis no ordinary night.

Tomorrow a birthday looms.

Another year of life and light,

And I’m this side the tombs.

Who is better because I lived it?

Where have I the lost sought?

To what good has live sieved it?   

 

Tomorrow, three score plus two,

Of the Biblical three score and ten.

Years as cattle, not a few,

Over yonder hill, now wend.
