 Leonard   Erskine, Hollywood, FL, “Life is a Passing Parade”


Life is a perpetual Passing Parade
An odyssey the ultimate charade
An eye blink in the anals of time
A merry go round or just mime

With obivion just a heart beat away
We struggle and strive each day
As faces from your sight fade
You entrench and in piety wade

But the human spirit is dauntless
Prevailing no matter the duress
Just turn each adversity to gain
While we march to life’s refrain

Oh yes life is a Passing Parade
Our destiny not always self made
So high step it to the drummer
And make every day like summer

For you have one life to live
And so much of your self to give
The final march past will appear
But who cares,it’s naught to fear

Board the love boat and remain
As you wave to all in your domain
The Passing Parade will never end
So make the bestof life my friend
