Seems
some people built a temple, a long time ago
With strong sturdy pillars;
erected in a beautiful row
It was a strong test
of their grace & skill
...................as
they all came together to fashion their own will
They
reflected on its beauty, its grandeur & glow
"Rust & Age can never
touch you" they said;
................."or
even be considered your foe"!
Seems
some parents also built a temple
Without the rock,
mortar or lime
Love & Kindness
were the foundations they laid;
to endure for an eternity
of time
They
laid each stone with a ferverent prayer
adding compassion, forgiveness
& unconditional care
No one praised their
unceasing efforts
No one knew of their
wonderous plan......
For the temple the parents
built
was unseen by the eyes of
man
Gone is the Builder's
temple,
Crumbled
into the dust;
..........Low lies
each stately pillar,
..........Alongside
the arches of rust
But .............the
temple the Parents built
Will last while the
ages roll,
For
that beautiful unseen temple
Was
a child's immortal soul.
