What is Gold?

What is Gold?

Gold is an angel

with metallic wings

an old dear friend

and the urge to sing

the feeling of mellow

the color yellow

a warm hello

dreams

and sunbeams

and endless schemes

the deepest, purest light

is gold

and life is gold

when you cherish its moments

gold is the promise of happiness

and youth is gold

never weak

never old

Gold is a wheat field

and candlelight

and the ember of love

on a summer night

Gold is the whisper

of a beautiful song

Gold is the color

of the April dawn

Gold is the precious

roaming days

of childhood

and reckless ways

you can see gold

in a rainbow of dreams

Toward the autumn harvest

where the sunset gleams
