A cycle of life,
A tumultuous range,
Of joy and strife.

We face the unknown,
With fear and dread,
But seeds are sown,
In every tear shed.

For crisis brings growth,
And change brings hope,
We learn to scope,
And find new ways to help.

So let us embrace,
This journey of life,
With courage and grace,
Through crisis and strife.

And as we emerge,
From the darkest of days,
We’ll find the courage,
To face life’s changing ways.

For crisis and change,
Are but a part of the plan,
To help us arrange
Our lives as best we can.
