Analysis of Ageless
Chris Pearson 1977 (Winnipeg)
before is
older than after
truth is
older than knowing
meaning is
older than feelings
light is
older than sight
sound is
older than words
right is
older than wrong
life is
older than death
hope is
older than faith
belief is
older than understanding
love is
older than everything
and renewed
by all that's after
to never end
by what begins
that's what forever is
