These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

Out to Pasture

Sometimes Life has parts now past,
effectiveness, now gone,
But the things, that always last
will always linger on.

The things, that are not needed much,
we put out with the cows
to eat the grass, and sometimes touch,
and hear applause with bows.

Days at home seem always right
with days in town quite few.
Youthful days with greater might
seem pastured, now they're through.

Pastures with their grassy hills
complete a well-spent day.
"Peace is loved more than great thrills."
Well, that's what my thoughts say.
