THE CYCLE OF LIFE
by Barbara Thompson Young


We must go on. We can't go back.
We must believe and stay on track-
with the cycle of life and the cards we've been dealt,
despite all the heartache and sorrow we've felt.

God has a plan, of this I am sure.
A plan for good, and strength to endure
the days ahead, whatever they hold,
and peace of mind, more precious than gold.

So, while we are here, let's be the example
of mercy and kindness, and love unconditional;
for our lives on earth will come to an end,
and the cycle will start all over again.
