Audio and Video Music:
Beneath the Moonlight.
By Aaron Kenny.

Fifty
years, and you remain a child,
Infinitely valued, loved, and
treasured.
Fierce winds may rip away at autumn
leaves,
The kind of turn by which one's life
is measured.
Yet Eden lingers, innocent and wild.
Years matter not, nor chance, nor choice,
nor change.
Ever you must be a child still.
Ambition matters not, nor joy, nor
grief,
Reason, passion, temper, fortune,
will,
Since you know love that nothing can
estrange.
