Golden Moments

A mother talking to her new-born baby
Or the first ever word spoken
The smell of fresh-cut hay or grass
Scrunching leaves on a bright autumn day

The absolute deafening silence
Of a mountain lake at sunset
An eagle swooping on its prey
As sea-gull crying

A distant train whistle
The blast of a fog-horn
A hound baying in the woods at night
Amidst the nocturnal sounds of insects

A stadium crowd singing the national anthem
The enchantment of a southern Baptist church
The cheerful laughter of children at play
The happy banter of a crowd going home

The crackling fire on a bitter day
The screech of an airplane's tire at touch down
The ecstasy of her love making
And your wife's soothing voice at morn
