“Full Circle”

That lady with the flat tire

That gentleman with the sign

May not be who they appear to be

They may be your test of time

To see if your bad day

Interrupts your Christian duties

Or to see if your faith is arrayed

Like one of God’s other beauties

The flowers bloom

Yet, depend on the sun and rain

To bring them full circle

In this cycle of loss and gain

How strong is your faith?

Would it be strong enough

To turn the crank on the jack

Or wisely give to a diamond in the rough?

A diamond starts out

As a simple lump of coal

We were created from dust

Then given a chance and a soul

Don’t take your chance for granted

Don’t let the day steal it away

Because everything comes full circle

And you just might lose your way
