The Spool of Life

The spool of life unwinds itself

To wind itself around me

It reveals much, yes, much, much more

Then you and I can see

The eyes of the needle of life sees through

Each and everything

It knows, it knows, yes, it knows

What the morrow brings

The fabric of life weaves out you see

A really puzzling maze

It knows of the really fruitless search

In which we’ll pass our days.

Life laughs at us while we do search

For a glimpse of the future to come

Wait your turn, it seems to say

Don’t just haw and hum..

Live the present in its full measure

Laugh the morrow’s cares away

Live a life full of joy

Chase away the shadows gray

For man may plan, and man may plot

It is his will to propose

But do not ever this forget

That it’s left to God, to dispose.
