Life Cycle

I sit in the corner and ponder my fate

Events overtook me

They just would not wait

My life has moved slowly

The seasons have passed

I was never lonely

Midst the flowers and grass

I scattered my seed, in the fullness of time

Then grew infirm, with natures decline

Soon came the winter, that robbed me of life

But destiny gave me a way, to survive

I sit in the corner and ponder my fate

I ask you to come and see my new shape

Although I am changed, please never fear

You can see my full beauty; it’s a view very dear

From a tree tall and stately, please regard

A beautiful chair has been carved.
