THE CIRCLE OF LIFE

The circle of life is but a journey

And we each live our own.

For some it is a long time;

For others a hop, skip, and a stone.

In early years the future seems

Forever in distant time.

Milestones are slow to come

And the years seem so confined.

Perspective is different when looking back,

The clock seems to tick so fast.

The years seem to whiz right by,

Zooming days no longer last.

And you realize all too soon,

Just like a tornado that seems to fly,

Your lifespan is ebbing away,

As ruthless as the restless tide.

And while living this circle of life,

Isn’t it wonderful to experience God’s love?

Knowing our future lasts forever,

When beckoned to heaven above.

I don’t quite know where that poem came from, but that’s it folks!

And it is not an April fool’s day joke! 

Thank You God for the years I’ve lived and the hours I have left.

Thank You God that my heart speaks when I’d rather keep it quiet.

Thank You for the realities of life that You continually bring to the forefront.

Thank You God for the joy that lives within me every single day!

GOOD NIGHT AND GOD BLESS YOU!
