When death ends life <br />A thread is torn <br />The knot is tied <br />And the child is born <br /> <br />The cycle but <br />A fabric patched <br />Together bound <br />Though unattached <br /> <br />The needle sews <br />Yet darkness reign <br />While shadows ask <br />Why is the pain <br /> <br />When death ends life <br />And the thread is torn <br />And the knot is tied <br />And the child is born<br /><br />James B.
