Cycle of Life is Unending
The final notes of “Taps” were blending
with the fading of the sun,
thus signifying death had come.
This life on earth was done.
From another bugle notes came forth,
as “Reveille” was sounded.
Bidding the sleeping soul awake
As a new life now was sounded.
The cloak of sadness cast aside,
with joy the soul ascended.
The wounds of human life were healed,
heartaches and pain were ended.
The cycle thus continues on,
Death cheated of its sting.
And in the music of this life,
fresh notes with joy will ring.
