Time-Frame Of Life Poem by Bernedita Rosinha Pinto

In the time frame of life
passes motherhood,
in the quest for knowledge
passes childhood,
in the definition of achievement
passes manhood,
in the satisfaction of greed
passes wicked pursuits,
in the attainment of vengeance
passes opportunity of peace,
in the action of destruction
passes the hope of reconciliation,
in the greatness of truth
passes falsity of intentions,
in the mystery of faith
passes the unity of beliefs,
in the frame of time, death
passes life into God's hands.
