It’s no toil turning dirt to goldTreasure and light combine in this
Lump of clay and mortal bliss
Are housed in light and sparkling mist
It’s but a vapor clothed in earth
Small seed fallen to the ground
Small indeed yet grows to be
The purest proof of alchemy
Golden smile shining heart
Ere it grows in golden sun
All is bright in wistful years
Water seed in silver tears
It’s no toil turning dirt to gold
But dear the price when all is counted
Your life the cost to leave behind
One shiny proof of love divine
Children Are Gold by Hush Puppy Hawkins
The painting above is of the coastline near the croc adventure described below in a previous post...just off the Mosquito coast in Central America. I was in the area on two separate occasions, got a lot of pics and a few tall tales to impress the kids ...and my neighbors who have never left the desert. Being auctioned this very moment on eBay
