Life Cycles - A Poem by Errol Cĺark Halķett

LIFE CYCLES

When life is at its lowest

And we know not where to turn

Wonder we where should thou goest?

And what candle wilt thou burn?

Life is like a cycle

And each stage must be fulfilled.

The sad and glad

Make up the turning that just won t be stilled

For if it is, then all will stop,

And the bad would go on forever

And the happy and glad ones we could appreciate not

No no never.

For it takes happy, sad, good, and bad

To make our life cycles come full fold

Like our beginnings as an infant

Wrinkled, then budding, then wrinkling again as we grow old

Yet the cycle is different for everyone,

As we are different from one another

And each one differently must unfold

Yet similar likened to a sister and brother

And the wheel of life keeps on turning,

Not stopping for good or bad

But Keeps on burning

And God never puts more on us than we can stand,

And that s how we keep on Learning

And through this we figure how to know good from the other

While life s Cycle goes right on round

Keeping God first and loving your sisters and brothers

For in life s cycle where thou fittest in,

Peace and love with God shall be Found

So when life s at its lowest where wilt thou goest?

And what candle wilt Thou burn?

Why the road that God showed

And hath lain for thee

The brightest candle with Him forever will burn

And show us the way to set each and all of us free.
