These Happy Golden Years


Golden years are passing by,


Happy, happy golden years,


Passing on the wings of time,


These happy golden years.


Call them back as they go by,


Sweet their memories are,


Oh, improve them as they fly,


These happy golden years.

~These Happy Golden Years by Laura Ingalls Wilder

  4. Golden indeed! What a fitting poem for your precious photos.

    What I love most about this poem is that it encourages me -- there was a lot in Laura's life that wasn't golden yet she focused on her blessings. What an example!
