The Pendulum
Givers and Takers
By Earl W. PearlPublished 10 months ago • Updated 10 months ago • 1 min read
As the pendulum swings through our cycles of life
We consider the life that we live
How comforting though our contentment in strife
If we’re taking far less than we give
We try to recall when the pendulum swung
Since before very long, we’ll retire
We’ll arrive at that age when we never were young
And not long after that, we’ll expire
