Being Human

B orn are we to hold unto valuable moments, E ntrusted with our right to free choice , that I nvesting the self in deep attachments when N othing but kindness refreshes us. Nor are we G one like stardust, grounded through constant duty. H ome can be anywhere, in fields or at sea , U sually gifting others joyful dreams. Till faith sets in, M astering a life-giving purpose, as enthusiasm A llows our free child to awaken inner light,to N ourish the grant of deep love...godly and humane. John Hamilton's Being Human Contest 7/9/2016
