Wonders of A Lifetime

Lo behold, my open eyes,

Look onward so dreamy,

While the eagles soar the skies,

And the moonlight doth shine, creamy.

But amidst those beams of light,

Do the yonder nightingales sing, 

And the world lies in repose, 

While Dream's pleasing bells do ring.

Yet around the noon of night, 

While stood still the feet of time,

Did the destiny of a hero change,

Yet in Youth's ripe prime.

He knew the battles to be fought,

He knew of challenges, on the way,

Of being a heroic man by night,

And a labourer, by day.

Although his family did know, 

Little of his great deeds,

They knew he had a heart of gold,

Coupled with nobility of creed.

And so he went along thus far,

Unknown to the world, 

Albeit all his deeds were known,

His identity was ne'er unfurled.

But at the end of his long life,

He could but gladly see,

That his life of services,

Was as fulfilling, as could be.

He smiled looking at the faces of glee,

Of his grand children, young,

And hope he did his duties well,

Climbing right, at every rung.

He looked at the thoughtful faces,

Of his children, now old and wise,

And pleased himself in knowing that,

He was a good man to his wife. 

He asked himself the answer to,

The question of his heart,

About the wonders of a lifetime,

Going forward, from the start.

He now knows that the real worth,

Of any of his deeds true,

Was simply in the measure of the smile,

In times both bright and blue.

For he knows the ways of life and death,

And knows a life well spent,

He now awaits Oblivion,

A smiling man, old and bent.
