MEANING OF LIFE

What is the meaning of life?

For what purpose are we here?

Which possessions do we hold so dear?

What makes the world go round?

Can you see it spinning?

Turning ever so slowly;

Are we winning?

Is time really moving too fast?

Can we make our efforts last?

Spinning, Spinning, Spinning;

Are we really winning?

CHILDREN

Look at all the little children,

Running about.

They will all grow to adulthood;

Of that, I have no doubt.

Children, run and have fun;

When you grow up,

There is so little sun.

Enjoy life while you can,

Before you jump into that frying pan.

Explore the world and all the joys;

Run, while you can, my precious boys.

DISAPPEARING RAINBOW

Who has found the rainbow?

Certainly not me;

When I follow it to the end,

It disappears into the sea.

Who has found the rainbow?

Certainly not you;

All the world is using tunnel-vision,

Searching for that dream so new.

Who has found the rainbow?

No one ever will;

If one looked beyond his narrow mind,

He would find it on his window sill.

LAST CYCLE OF LIFE

He has gone,

Left this world for another.

I shall miss him, I fear

Although he has gone,

He lives in my heart.

I have all those lovely memories,

So we shall never really part.

Death is merely a cycle of living;

The last step in life.

We must all meet it eventually;

It will erase all our strife.

DELICATE CREATURES

Birds are such delicate creatures;

Look at those tiny features.

Yet they seem so strong;

Flying in the wind so long.

Not letting the cold winter,

chase them away.

Beware, snow and sleet,

We're here to stay.

Birds, we'll feed you in this cold,

Because we admire you, you're so bold

Then when Spring comes around,

We'll still hear that lovely sound.

Those beautiful songs you chirp so glad;

Cheering us when we're sad.

Thank you, little birds so small.

"We admire your courage", we call.

SLOW DOWN

Time is running,

Running so fast!

Slow down,

Let's make the moments last.

People are rushing,

Rushing on the freeway.

Slow down,

Try a slower pace--enjoy the day!

Waves are crashing,

Crashing on the shore.

Slow down,

Don't swallow our land anymore.

The world is hurling,

Hurling through space.

Slow down!,

What's happened to the human race!

THE LONELY TREE

Where's my family?

Said the little tree all alone,

Bulldozers and men took them, now, they're all gone,.

They chopped down the forest

That provided the shade;

Products, they said, needed to be made.

They forgot about the oxygen we make,

And the soil erosion we prevent,

Bent on making money... that's not heaven sent!

The land will turn to dust,

Then they'll remember us.

They have to!...... They must!
