    A OMEN OF WHAT IS TO BE

    We are Born in the Spirit
    Born of the Flesh
    Our growth is rapid through out life

    Youth with all its excitement and spenders
    Life is wonderful for a time
    Peeping through the door into adulthood
    Happy days School, friends, parties, cars, jobs
    Then graduation times, Marriage, home, children

    Middle age time
    Dreams, work, self discipline, successful
    Clubs, travel, a newer home, a newer car
    Divorce, a newer family

    Time presses forward
    Starting life over a new, single, lonesome
    Dating, a new spouse, now two families for some

    Wondering what had happen? What to do!
    With ache and pains, graying hair, pot belly,
    Eye sights going, what will come next?

    Faster and faster time passes on...
    Thinking of the future
    Not much left, trying try to do everything

    Retirement, rocking chair, TV, computer
    Looking back in time
    Now seclusion, senility, religious

    Time getting short
    Staring face to face with destiny
    And destiny he laughs

    Sickness, hospital, death, funeral
    Born in the spirit
    Death in the flesh

    An Omen of what must be...

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
