Life's Journey
Life is like a roundabout,
As it travels round and round,
It starts with birth as life bursts forth,
And ends beneath the earthly ground.
A new born babe gives life new hope,
It's beauty so appealing.
It gives new strength for one to cope,
And life's wounds get new healing.
The child has grown, so strong and bright,
Her dancing brings much pleasure.
She plays and skips till late at night,
Her life is one of leisure.
Childhood now passed, still life goes on,
And love enters the picture.
She had a son and called him john,
He grew to be her future.
Life's slipping by, her grandson born,
She sings him nursery rhymes,
And though she's old and frail and worn,
She still enjoys good times.
