Life Cycle

Life Cycle

Love is

Man and woman

Soft embers in a heart

Steaming in graceful harmony

Blended

A girl

Daughter first born

Much too small, but she’s strong

Delightful angelic creature

Laurie

 

A son

Impulsive child

Unpredictable boy

Inquisitive-spontaneous

Denny

 

A son

Lives in my heart

He was taken too soon

My loss, heavens gain, angel’s wings

David

 

 

Firstborn

Grandma’s delight

Happy miracle child

Video games! Computer whiz!

Justin

 

 

Snips snails

Puppy dog tails

Fishing rod, BB guns

A grandson of many talents

Michael

 

Love blooms

Innocence sweet

Perfumed lips pink toenails

A granddaughter grows in my heart

Lyndsey

A fair

Ballerina

Sweet angelic movements

Beauty, poetry in motion

Graceful

 

 

Clueless

Impractical

Naïve, oblivious

Incompetent and ignorant

Clueless

 

Teenage

They know it all

Capable of talking

Faster faster than mom can hear.

Sixteen

 

 

 

Silence

Obscure delight

My twilight melody

Harmony sung in early dawn

Peaceful

 

Empty

Fledglings all gone

Tick Tock time marches on

Deafening silence around me

Clueless

Laughter

New birth renewed

Grandmother’s dream come true

Three flew away, three came to stay

Peaceful

 

Circle

Goes in a ring

Moments end new begins

Life cycle comes full circle in rhyme

WOW this is great

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

I think of Elton John's "Circle of Life" Reading this... it really captures just how the beauty of life is passed on from generation to generation.
