Life Keeps Going On...

In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life. It goes on. ~ Robert Frost




The colorful buds bloom epril
The young calf skips in the open fields

Families of geese fly south every winter
Beautiful white swans swim gracefully in the pond

The crow sits on the kitchen window every afternoon
The bumble bee visits his favorite gladiolus in the garden

The shepherd takes out his sheep on the grassy hills
Mother hen gathers her chicks in the barnyard at dusk

The rains spreads a green carpet over the earth
After the cuckoo has sung his melodies in summer

Fireworks color the sky every New Year's Eve
Skeletons dance every Halloween

The newspaper boy whistles every morning, as he drops newspapers in mail boxes
The old couple still take walks every evening holding hands

Little Amy cuts her birthday cake while family and friends sing for her
Father John prays that departed souls might rest in peace

Mr Frank screams at kids picking berries from his garden tree
Young Lucy waits for Mr Brown to be back home after work

Come December, beautiful snowflakes, paint the town in white
And in just a few months the bright sun lights up every garden...

... and so, life keeps going on...
