Of Life-circles and Choices

 PAD Prompt: circle poem

We serve, Creator or created

Before dust returns to dust

Whether prince, priest or pauper

We must choose whom we trust

The leaders of earth rise

Transient they fall

There is One, Supreme Being

Above us all

From our very first cry

As He grants us breath

We know, you and I

Will someday face death

And as we choose Whom to serve

In life’s brief circle we

Choose not for mere Time

But for eternity
