CIRCLE OF LIFE

Where there is life
There is suffering

Where there is suffering
There are always lessons

Where there is lesson
There is always growth

Where there is growth
There is always hope

Where there is hope
There is always strength

Where there is strength
There is always Love

Where There is Love
There are always miracles

Where there are miracles
There is always God

Where there is God
There is always life anew

Never lose hope!
Many beautiful things await

I knelt to pray but not for long,
I had too much to do.
I had to hurry and get to work
For bills would soon be due.

So I knelt and said a hurried prayer,
And jumped up off my knees.
My religious duty was now done
My soul could rest at ease.

All day long I had no time
To spread a word of cheer.
No time to speak of God to friends,
They'd laugh at me I'd fear.

No time, no time, too much to do,
That was my constant cry,
No time to give to souls in need
But at last the time, the time to die.

I went before the Lord,
I came, I stood with downcast eyes.
For in his hands God held a book;
It was the book of life.

God looked into his book and said
”Your name I cannot find.
I once was going to write it down...
But never found the time"
