Five tercets

Wheel of Life

by JLR

 
Wheels of life go round and round.
From the first beat of the heart
then back 'round to dust someday.

Life can be hard some so say...
If like a lump of clay balls
you are not too well-centered.

Life works for these times entered
to stay well-balanced to start,
That limits those ups and downs.

If so, you'll have fewer frowns
and smile more with joyful heart.
Less twists and turns and heart burns.

Well-centered clay turns and turns
with the potter’s touch just right
to become a treasured gift.

So center and do not drift.
Keep steady your life focus.
You will love this life entered.
