Autumn Leaves volume 7 number 6 |
What is life I hear you ask
That moment in
time before the death mask
make of it what you will
Create more life or
stay on the pill
Life oft' starts in a lovers
embrace
Passion aroused in garments of lace
We do not think of time to
come
'til life is born a daughter — a Son
Life is born — a helpless
child
Gentle Jesus meek and mild
Mary and Joseph, a manger of hay
Wise
men and Kings visited him that day
A child born of God so the Bible does
say
immaculate conception we wonder today
those who believe it's a
wonderful thought
from cradle to coffin that's what we are taught
That helpless child suckles on mother's
breast
needing constant care — mother gets no rest
knees are
crawling, feet are walking, teeth are biting
Before you know it the boys are
fighting
The girls are playing with dolls and cuddly
toys
Then they reach teenage years — start dating boys
Boys have
stopped fighting and now wash every day
Hoping to meet a pretty girl some
special day
That pretty girl wearing lace on a special
date
Responding to nature's call to progenate
The seeds are sown and life
starts again
Runs its chosen path of fate, then after — no pain
