Conception

Mystery of life
New entity shared by two
Comes into being


Pregnancy

Close as you can get
The bond that starts before birth
A mother and child


Birth

Welcome to the world
Red faced and loudly screaming
To say I am here


Childhood

You will learn so much
Each day will be something new
Smiles and skinned knees


Prime years

Live each day as one
Taking the good with the bad
Life is all around


Old age

You walk slower now
But you pause to savor life
Memorys soon fade


Death

Part of the circle
You only fear the unknown
The last leap of faith

Bob this is excellent!!
You took this full circle...
I absolutely love this one...
AND I'm keeping it!

~Somewhere in my heart I'm always
dancing with you in the summer rain~

i dig the "skinned knees", hoped that "memories soon fade" won't happen to me and agree fully with the "last leap of faith"...

nicely done

I must say that I am beginning to really
enjoy reading your perceptions of various
facets of life and the world...

Much wisdom in these words....
