The new replacements

The new replacements

A Poem by andrew mitchell

The new replacements.
As the ravages of time
turn youth into
slow decay,
death comes knocking
unexpectedly.
Still 
the wheels of life
keep turning;
for 
the new replacements.

The cycle of life.....the old depart, replaced by the babes born anew.

This cycle can be applied to many areas of life. The workplace. the sporting team, the love life, friendships and on and on.

A very thoughtful write, Andrew. Topical and relevant.
