Circle of Life
Light of Hope
Belief in tomorrow
That you will be there
In your place as always
Yet
Life throws us curve balls
The path twists
And we dodge the arrow
Or unknowingly get caught in the cross hairs
Of our destiny
The pain of losing an ancient one
Is a million times milder than losing a child
Both sad, but the elder has led a long life
Affected change through many seasons
A child is just beginning to make a mark on the world
The possibilities are endlessly open
The pain cuts like a knife for those who were not there
They did not get the chance to say good-bye………
