An Analysis on The Order of Things...

At the end of daylight we find nightfall

At the end of nightfall, new day

Then, as the end of an hour evolves

We find another, hooray!

At the end of a bud we find flowers

At the end of its bloom, a pod

Then at the end of its emptying

We find fresh seed in earth’s sod

At the end of childhood we find Duty

At the end of Duty, we rest

Then, at the end of rest’s slumber we find

The return to Duty’s quest

At the end of self-will we find wanting

At the end of self’s want, pride’s laud

Then, at the end of pride’s self at last

We are prepared to find God
