The Gate

The gate has served its family for many years. Its duties has been to keep the cows and chickens out of the lawn and to keep the children safely in. Once this was a bustling farm, the parents, busy running their business while tending to their five children. Of the young children who once played in the lawn some have passed away. The gate now hangs in disrepair as this farm as well as its occupants shows the obvious signs of age.

Time waits for no one.

The old have learned this truth,

the young will as time passes.
