Spinning Wheel of Time

A spinning wheel of time
Flowers in bloom
Children singing a merry tune
Tears of today, tears of yesterday
Spinning, spinning is the wheel of time.

A spinning wheel of time
A cry of let the battle begin
Throwing families in a tailspin
Fear of today, volunteers of yesterday
Spinning, spinning is the wheel of time.

A spinning wheel of time
Colors of red, white and blue
Mother’s crying saying adieu
Life of today, death of yesterday
Spinning, spinning is the wheel of time.

A spinning wheel of time
War at every turn
When will we ever learn not to crash and burn
Reconstruction today, destruction yesterday
Spinning, spinning is the wheel of time.

A spinning wheel of time
Flowers in bloom
Children singing a merry tune
Tears of today, tears of yesterday
Spinning, spinning is the wheel of time.

Bonnie, thank you for this.  Interesting how such a simple title can pull one so deeply into the thread of life.
