Old Is Wonderful

Let us take note:

That it is the old apple trees that are decked with

the loveliest blossoms

That it is the ancient redwoods that rise to 

majestic heights.

That it is the ancient coins, old stamps, and antiqued 

furniture that many eagerly seek.

That it is the old violins that produce the richest tones.

That it is the oldest wine that tastes the sweetest.

That it is when the day is old and far spent that it displays

 the beauteous colours of sunset.

That it is when the year is old and has run its course that

mother nature transforms the world into a fairyland  of snow.

That old friends are the dearest and that it is the old

people who have been loved by God for a long, long time.

Thank God for the blessings of old age, its faith,

its love, its hope, its patience, its wisdom,

its experience, its maturity.

When all is said and done,

Old Is Wonderful!

Every trial endured and weathered in the right spirit

makes a soul nobler and stronger than it was before.

The life that conquers is the life that moves with a steady resolution and persistence toward a predetermined goal. Those who succeed are those who have learned the immense importance of a plan in life, and the tragic brevity of time.
