Hi Stephen, I've finally checked into the Forum again today after a long absence and found this thought provoking poem. So I just wanted to say how much I like it on many levels - the cycle of life, the natural order of things, and meanwhile the world stumbles on, as Sue says. It's always a poignant topic and I love the way you've captured the feeling here.

Thanks, Catherine. It took me a while to work out where to take it after the first verse (and the first verse also took a while to work out!), but I was happy enough with the final result.
