Golden Strands

 Golden Strands  Her golden strands of hair,

Priceless Golden Strands envied by all

Is thick and flowing as a river of honey,

But soft and smooth as the finest silks,

And luminous and radiant as the sun shining through the window on a summer’s noon

Falling perfectly as the rays illuminating the Matron’s hair

Spread out on the pillow as she naps.

Her two daughters of the same age napping beside her.

Both identical to the Matron except in strand hues.

One having strands of white gold

Like fiery hot light,

The other having strands of bronze and gold

So vibrant and voluminous.

Her’s so rich while the other so thin,

<p style="text-align:center;">But all equally pleasing to the eye.

<p style="text-align:center;">Different strands but both sharing the same place

<p style="text-align:center;">In the sweet Matron’s heart.

<p style="text-align:center;">Beside all three

<p style="text-align:center;">Taking in this precious scene,

<p style="text-align:center;">Never to forget it for all time,

<p style="text-align:center;">The Patriarch,

<p style="text-align:center;">Looking upon them with loving, caring eyes,

<p style="text-align:center;">Thinking if he were to ever lose them

<p style="text-align:center;">What he would do with his sorrows.

<p style="text-align:center;">Leaning towards them

<p style="text-align:center;">He gave each a long, heartfelt kiss.

<p style="text-align:center;">One for his dearest Matron

<p style="text-align:center;">And one for each of his beloved daughters.

<p style="text-align:center;">Then he lie back down resting his head upon the pillow

<p style="text-align:center;">And fell asleep smiling at the thought of them.

<p style="text-align:center;">He had all he ever needed in life right there with him on that summer’s noon.

<p style="text-align:center;">He was finally, truly happy.
