A Life Cycle Poem by Reva Kern

Even if
Constant pain and sorrow last for years
Even if
A worried face is streaked with tears
Life goes on
Spring sunshine - warm
Lonely heart - bleak
Lift up
Look to the future -
Life
As if summer plays a supporting role
Tender, lovely, heady
Together crying
Together smiling
Our trials and hardships
Life
Seems deep, emotional - Autumn
Filled with red, colorful fragrance,
Confusing the eye
Together hand-in-hand
Life
Then snow and winter
Pure, clean, mysterious
Together walking everywhere
A young singing voice
Always accompanies us
Like an infinite sea.
