GOLD, by                    
First Line: A bit of sun in my window-nook
Last Line: No wealth I need -- for these are gold!
Subject(s): Gold; Sons


A bit of sun in my window-nook,
A ribbon gay in my favorite book,
A darting wing in the summer air,
The yellow curls of my baby's hair.

A burst of song from a feathered throat,
A dancing wave beside a boat,
A jonquil tossing against a wall,
The light in the eyes of my son -- grown tall.

A ripple of laughter upon the breeze,
A flash of color in autumn leaves,
The gleam of the soul as you close I hold,
No wealth I need -- for these are Gold!
