Being Human

Being Human

Birthed to the world through a woman’s womb
Experiencing the trials and joys of growing each day
Individuality and identity take place along the way 
Naiveté and innocence goes forever astray
Grown up you are and the child’s gone away

Humble human hearts beat longer they say
Under much less modern stress 
Managing the daily trials and lifelong tests
At times of pleasant recreation, work and rest
Never turning from the God who knows what’s best

Connie Marcum Wong Date: 7/9/2016 11:13:00 PM Congratulations Janis. I didn't think the baby was yours, it just reminded me of how life is precious. Maybe I am still not getting it? Cheers on your high placement! 7 ; ) Login to Reply Janis Medders Tobechi Date: 7/10/2016 11:47:00 AM Connie, when you commented on My Little Man, you though he was mine and I replied to your comment that i was his first grade teacher. That was what I was referring to. Thanks for your comments and your rating.
