Analysis of Cycles

Charlene Delfin 1990 (Mandaluyong City)



Sea
Waves
Splashing,
Washing off,
Driving them away
To places where they are needed.

Seeds
Grow,
Flourish
Under the bright sun.
Fresh new leaves decorate the world.

Thanks
To
Nature,
Life renews.
History repeats.
Each day, they keep on improving.

For
To
Become
Much better
Is worth living for,
When every morning is brand new.

Birds
Fly
In flocks
Above us,
Their voices mixed with
Children's laughter on the playground.
