Circle of Life Poem

Life is indeed a circle. Sometimes this circle can best be described in poetry. The life cycle is all about relationships, understanding the patterns of life and realizing that life does go on regardless of what you think or what you do. I wrote this poem to celebrate the circle of life. It is a poem that has a great deal of hope and meaning to me about life.

Circle of Life

Little patter of footsteps,
Cute noises in the night as they sleep.

Spilled cup of milk,
Dropped green bean.

First report card of smileys and check marks,
T-ball and ballet.

Latest fashion trends,
Middle school graduation.

Cell phone glue to the ear,
Car keys lost.

Oral presentations and thesis papers,
College graduation.

Love is in the air,
Wedding bells ringing.

Ah yes again....

Little patter of footsteps,
Cute noises in the night as they sleep.
