replace the blank with a new word phrase,
make the new phrase the title of your poem, and then, write your poem.
(Playing with these prompts as time allows!)
Oh there's another title for this prompts haha! '
As Time Allows
As long as life is granted, pray
That I/we may learn the art
(Though nothing keeps the years at bay)
Of staying young at heart
Then though the seasons take their toll
Beneath their staid finesse
May I/we retain in heart and soul
A youthful loveliness
Where as the winds of change persist
To weather wizened limb
Beneath the tresses, silver-kissed
May Youth’s sparkle yet brim
Like a gnarled tree laden with fruits
Of pure and humble truth
May Beauty’s finest attributes
Inspire green of youth
Each season is a work of art
Like links in daisy-chains
To keep us ever young at heart
As long as life remains
