Ribbons of Life
Round and round they go
Ribbons weaving a pattern
Of unyielding beauty
Held by the dancers
Who smile happily
As they trip along
Around the maypole of life
Red for the blood that
Gives us life
Blue for the thoughts
That bring us joy
Yellow for the sunshine
Entering the soul
White brings the purity of love.
The ribbons change hands
the dancers turn.
As the red of life releases
the yellow sunshine,
Into the thoughts of blue
Igniting the purity of love
The ribbons are unfurled.
