Two cells combine to make it a whole
It is just the beginning
If conditions are right
As a life unfolds
Traveling thru moments
Seconds, days and years
To live life with all the joy and the woe
It’s the rings around rings
That help it stand tall
It the wrinkles surrounding the eyes
That reflect all that was given

It fades into the background
Makes room for the new
It the memory of rings and wrinkles
That a life was lived and shared
