Life - the Course

A baby is born 
Two dates separated by hyphen
Hyphen or dash: that's life

II
We fall in love -
One day one, or both, will die

III
We are born -
We learn; even think deep thoughts -
And die.

Life is both so brief and full, you have expressed that well in your succinct lines, much to ponder~

And so the circle goes..' He is swift..' He who covers Himself in Invisibility.. Who outruns the morning light.! He is never still.' His wheels always in motion..) And the above write brings home how much We need Him..) Without His Salvation the The end is to be truly grim..'
