Life is a Passing Review
"Life’s a journey but once in time and space."
Painting and Poem by Dr Abe V Rotor

Life’s in the seasons passing and returning;
How familiar when we are young, how we miss
When old we grow, leave the place for another.
Oh, how we love the seasons like passing breeze.
Life’s in the sea, unfathomed and mysterious;
How familiar the changing tides and beaches,
The waves rolling incessantly with our dreams.
Oh, how we love the sea the life it teaches.
Life’s in the rocks rising from the ocean deep;
How familiar their shapes, their majestic height,
Deep within the secret of life’s origin.
Oh, how we love the mountains in pure delight.
Life’s in the endless sky, deep blue or in gloom,
How familiar faces and figures in shroud,
The sun’s chariot takes us to Mount Olympus;
Oh, how we love the sky, praise we sing aloud.
Life’s a journey but once in time and space;
How familiar our goal likened to a mirth
In a scene imagined, redeemed from the Fall.
Oh, how we love to re-create life on earth. ~
