    In connection with our First Blessing of The Men:

     

    Life is a circle; it's beginning is its end,

    Going on forever, beginning when time began.

     

    Enclosed within the circle is every thought of love, 

    Gliding on the winds of time, on the wings of a dove.

     

    In the center of the circle is the hardened core of hate,

    Bringing upon the wars of the world and may someday bring its fate.

     

    But then life is a circle; it's beginning is it's end,

    Going on forever beginning when time began.

     

     Life is a circle; it's beginning is it's end,

    As it was in the beginning it shall be again.
