Off and Springing
Family Rhymes by H. Paul Shuch, Ph.D.

A More Worthy Goal

The flames of passion
We sought in youth
Burn brief and bright
Consuming all
Within their reach.
Now all I desire
Are occasional sparks
To warm us through
The long, harsh winter
Of slow decline.
Is not sustained
A more worthy goal
Than consumed?
