The Cycle of Life
Life is this:
 An endless cycle of time,
 It’s a clock:
 Tick, tock, tick, tock.
 It’s a series of chances,
 A web of hopes.
 Kids will be inspired,
 They will dream, 
 [Fear the sharks:
 Ones who destroy dreams,
 Swallow them up.]
 Kids will learn:
 Keep loved ones close,
 Like a camel storing water.
 They will treasure kin,
 Understand what’s most important:
 Family and friends.
 Kids will recognize desires and needs,
 Change their fantasy to a reality.   
 They can edit their life:
 Cut, copy, paste, delete.
 They can achieve anything,
 Do anything.
 Be anyone.
 See the world,
 Write the next great American novel,
 Be an actress, a ballet dancer,
 A model or a singer.
 Try and try again,
 “The third time’s a charm,”
 Life is all it offers:
 A gathering of dreams.
