Circle begins as 

we are ycreated with

love by God and welcomed 

to the world by our parents 

 We delighted when we 

discover we could walk,talk,

and all creation seemed

a wonderful playground 

and we were amazed with

 the simple joys of life

We learned God loves us

and created the birds, trees, 

and all  wondrous gifts 

with much care and compassion

Then we reflected on our identity

 and how we fit 

in the world

We worked hard to be 

important and support ourselves

and our families

We began to lose some

of our loved ones and 

challenges seemed to never stop

We continue to love God,others

and ourself the best way we can

We learn much from the people 

we try and help and offer support

We also have joyous times

and have some success with

our work and celebrate with our family

Along with loss their is 

new life with children  and 

the enthusiasm of youth is catagious

But we  become overwhelmed by our cross

We questioned our faith and 

the world  seemed fearful

and difficult place

How could God let these things happen

How could we love God who

seemed to let pain keep 

coming into our lives

We despair and became angry with God

After prayer and expressing 

our feelings to God we 

begin to realize we may

not know why bad things 

happen but we have experienced

God being with us and loving us

during our pain and loneliness

We have felt God's comfort

and how God even sent people

in our life to help us on the journey

Now it is late in our life

we reflect on our faith journey

We remember when we were young

and the simple faith of Loving God 

and being grateful of all creation

and the many simple gifts God

gives us every day

Much the same as when 

we were young but now

with much more spiritual wisdom

and a deeper faith and realtionship with God

Some questions we may never know

Yet we know we will return to our creator 

And so the circle turns

Sacred circle of life
