Round and Round

Round and Round

 

Round and round we go,

From start to finish and round some more.

Sunrise to sunset and then through the night,

To rise up and start all over again.

 

We toil and labor to create our own existence,

And the bills get paid, month after month,

We plant, we weed, we harvest and consume,

Doing our level best to make this life our own.

 

Winter, spring, summer and fall,

New years, Valentines, Thanksgiving and Christmas,

Take us from beginning to end,

Gives us joy and something to talk about,

As around the track we go.

I never really thought about it until your write but it is round and round and never stops. A great write, thank you for sharing Karen.

something to talk about, and yet seemingly so little time for talking. Sometimes the turning just moves too fast, a roller-coaster merry-go-round...

Well said.

Boomerang Karen, and boomerang again, great piece of verse, :-)

Karen, the cycles of life that we travel are over & over as though they're repeated in the same manner each year. I'm glad though that I have been blessed to repeat the cycles and to be with my wonderful husband and feel the love of my dear children, grand-children and great grand-children...those cycle is what we call "life," and I'm looking for eternal life in the hereafter. A great job on this one!

That's about it Karen, cycles and circles seasons and reasons,until one day HEAVEN,and all was worthwhile!;-)ET

We are all in the cycle, the trick is managing to stick your head above it and have a look around. I think that you have discovered that trick!

So very real. Life is like one big track that we continue to race around from birth till death. Some have a little more scenary that others though.

It all seems so predictable, doesn't it. Actually, life is best when it is predicable because there are less mishaps. Our daily activities and adventures are at the center of our orbital "round and round".

Getting dizzy with the round and round here . . . LOL . . . That's it though . . . Trying to get through the day so we can wake up and start it all over again . . .

This is so strange...I was talking about this earlier today...only not as poetically as you have done here. Excellent, Karen.

You opened a new door for thought. Life is like going a round and round. We make little changes along the way, sometime we get the brass ring, others we don't. Great write Karen, Love, Bonnie
Reviewed by George Carroll 6/2/2008
And be sure to grab the brass ring as you go round and round.
