Life sways from side to side,
Like a hammock in the shade,
A twirl here and a twirl there,
A sudden burst of change.
A friend is lost,
Yet a friend is gained,
As life seems to work,
In a mysterious way.
Moving so fast,
Up and down,
Like a speeding coster,
All around.
Once, there stood in the open sky
My teacher, my brother, my friend and I.
My friend saw an eagle suddenly dive
Onto a little dove and swallowing it half-alive.
My friend sadly said, Oh, what a bad time”!
“What was this little lovely dove’s crime”?
My teacher said, “Its crime was that it was weak
And had not the same claws and similar a beak!!!
