John Beharry Poet Quatrain

The Wheel of Life

The wheel of life keeps turning every day
Birth, life and then the subsequent decay
All living things must return whence they came
The pattern always remaining the same

All living things start life's journey at birth
Become adult through the process of growth
They then participate in reproduction
Thus creating the next generation

Life then continues daily in this world
Until old age and illness take their toll
Lastly, all must face death's reality
That brings a final end to life's journey

The wheel goes through a full revolution
With each and every new generation
Whatever is alive will someday die
This will surely happen as time goes by

John Beharry March 24, 2015 at 10:13 PM Cona, thanks for your comment. I view life as a form of energy. The Law of Conservation of Energy states that energy can nether be created nor destroyed. It may take a different form but it will continue to exist. So, I support your statement. Have a nice day!
