The Circle of Life

When I was just a Child
Wind blew Me the Wrong Way
I lost My Direction
It sent Me out to Bay
So I decided to follow the Sun
First to the east, then to the west
Back where I began,wasn't much fun
I followed My Heart and found Love
Getting older Year by Year
At last I was Flying like a Dove
I Was Married with Children
Now a Grandfather, They are doing so well
Children grown and Wife has gone away
As many more Years pass by
I feel I am back where I began
Stranded, right back out at Bay
Never knowing what Tomorrow will bring
Trying to keep up my cheer
I try to Laugh, Dance, Pray, and Sing
Every Day and Every Year

About this poem:

Life just seems to be an endless circle
Never knowing from day to day
I've been Reading in Poetry
So I decided to write another one
My first one in a few Years

Good poem - thank you for sharing Larry. Life is one big circle and then when we die and go to Heaven - the circle is complete.

Thank You godsprincess... Life is surely a circle, tho I am not ready to Die and go to Heaven yet

I was hoping that I had time for one more smaller circle..

I definitely remember you from a few years ago...I hope all is well with You,Thank You again Hotrodlarrys

Thank You as well LADYCOUNTESSA,
Yes I agree Life can be very strange, I know we all have a story... This was just as a general vision of how strange it can be...I am uncertain if I remember you...I do remember a Ladycountless Or Similar, was that possibly you? Either way thank you for taking the time to read and comment..

Thank You so much daniela,
Most wouldn't guess that I do Poetry occasionally, I have many hidden Talents

I think this is the 15th one I have done on CS, Most a few Years ago. You are welcome to look back at them if you desire.
Thank You again,

Larry (for you it is Darling, inside joke)
