Silver, by Amelia Harper

I shared this here in my first year of blogging, 2004. I read it again today, and thought, I love it just as much today. I hope you enjoy it too.

Silver 

by Amelia Harper 

Silver is as silver sounds - 

A scintillating sight. 

Silver flashes in the sun 

And dances in the light. 

Silver threads among the gold 

Can garnish age with grace. 

Silver sings the season in 

With holly and with lace. 

Silver in the pocket sounds 

Like wealth beyond compare. 

Silver settings sparkle add 

To jewels rich and rare. 

Silver shimmers and it shines 

And once I even heard 

That a silver bowl with fruit of gold 

Is like a fitly spoken word.
