Circle Of Life

Rating: 3.0


To fully complete the circle of life
man leaves his parents to be with his wife
like his father had, builds a house
to make his own image from the spouse;
Few years adds up, summing to his age
little ones running around, after the marriage
then he be called a real man, for reaching that stage.

He watches many years, slipping him by
Some of his dreams, are still on hold
He keeps wondering how time had fly
Sorting through memories with a longer sigh -
and searches the younger self, to compare with the old.

Soon, age will bring him back, to his old empty life
For his son be leaving soon to be with his own wife
like his own father did, to repeat history
to build a new life and then a family
and start all over, a chapter of misery.

So will his daughter too, to be someone's wife
to breed her own spring like her own mother
will change your last name to someone else's father.

Now your life's complete
for awaiting for obsolete -
And the wonders of time, the chapter of warm age
will just be as cold passing the next page
then you will be looking back where old ages had gone
as you gawp at sun set, while you sit alone
