Poem Title:
Poem
With life, there are many challenges; we are faced with new ones everyday Sometimes we do not understand why we must struggle so But with each new day, an answer will come We must learn to seek out the path that will lead us To a new and challenging future We do not ask for pain nor do we ask for difficulty Yet, daily we must face these trying times in our lives We shall encompass days that will make us feel unworthy We must look for strength from within ourselves and from within others To enable us to push forward to reach the dawn of a new day To embrace the dark sky of a new night People from all walks of life will come and go in our lifetime They are on their own journey; we are all merely passersby A spectacle on the surface of each other’s lives We are each here to help one another get from this point to the next From this world to the next What purpose do we really serve here upon this earth? Do we want to know? For now we just keep moving on, going from day to day Wondering what new adventures we will embark upon each day Remember those you meet, for someday, as time does pass We will look back at our lives on earth Once we have moved on, to the Great Life beyond And we will think of those who were in our lives The people that made a difference, no matter if it were great or small Some little gesture of kindness meant to help us on our way Before we reach our final destination The reasons for the kindness that was shown May not be known to us now, but someday it will be We will face those greatest challenges with the strength and wisdom We sought after for so long, all because someone else cared Maybe a stranger, maybe a friend Just simple kindness, a gesture of good faith Love shared from the heart from one person to another The compassion we show one another, may be the key that unlocks The Great Mystery on the Journey of Life Copyright © 2002 Shari E Davis
