Spinning Wheel

The Spinning wheel is spinning
The thread of life
Is unraveling
Whipping in the wind
To the beat of the moon
Spinning spinning spinning
Making something new 
With the life we have
Make of it what you choose
Hurry up but not to fast
When the thread runs out
What will you have
Will it be something you are proud of
Or will it unravel and deter ate 
And all your hard work
Will mean nothing at all
And the thread of life 
and the needles used to create it will fall
So choose wisely and don’t waste the thread
For when it runs out
They will be nothing left 
So knit wisely and make something 
That will last 
And can be used 
Then you will not have wasted the thread
And you have put it to good use
