This is Life

A time to live, a time to die

And all the living in between

The cycle starts, the breath begins

And time keeps marching on

The bumps, the bruises

Seasons change

The seedling is a tree

The life that once was yours alone

That former life now gone

Time is spent, days grow short

And life has changed again

Beginning blends into the end

But still so much to give

It seems as if the journey’s long

Tis not though, this is true

The people in the life you live

Is all there really is

The arms that hold the tiny babe

The roles reverse

And this is life
