Time Left To Repeat

Round and round 
Round and round we go 
life after life drowned 
in this world we think we know 
past to present then back to past again 
lives lost but are not dead 
those thought dead brought back again 
children of the past once again go to bed 
for those unable to comprehend 
time repeats from the cradle to the grave 
then starts the beginning of the end 
despite all efforts that we gave 
and is then reversed 
never to change like a song that's been rehearsed 
leaving many hearts needing a mend 
within this cycle that seems to never end.

Hi, Jacob, Your poem immediately brought to mind a merry-go-round. Circling, circling. But I see each new circle (day) as a blessing, One more day that God has granted me to live on His great earth until He calls me home.
