THROUGH BRILLIANT SEASONS
by
Ronald G. Auguste
(For Bill Gates, Jr.)
We see your blooming green turn into gold,
In veins of priceless worth, to gild your life;
And as you give and share from wealth untold,
You do give birth to dreams to lessen strife.
You'll grow through brilliant seasons, day by day,
Replete with awesome splendour, as in Spring;
Though Winter might presume, it will not stay,
Since Summer sweet will sanction everything.
Beyond the bounds of living, there can be
Eternal warmth and radiance for your name!
Perchance, through ages after, Man will see
Your vision -- and conclude truth as the same.
So with such splendid fortune, as Time grows,
Grant that your name, your virtue, light its shows.
