Being Human

Bliss is what we seek as human beings even though Ephemeral is our earthly journey when we begin as Infants gaining knowledge through guidance and experience, Needing to receive love and then reciprocate it if we are to Grow to understand our purpose beyond this speck of time. How can we fulfill our destiny or achieve any measure of greatness Unless we truly understand how much we are loved by God? Mankind has endured eons not always grasping our importance As parents to instill in our children not just knowledge but love’s real meaning. Nothing but unselfish love will help us to realize the eternal bliss we seek. July 8. 2016 for the Being Human Poetry Contest of John Hamilton

Perspective is being human isn't it? And appreciating and tolerating and surviving. Love is the budding blossom that eternally reminds us that we are equal. You have reiterated the constant need for remembering our humanity. Although, our being human does that all the time. :) Peace and Love.

I love the searching feel in not only your age old question, but comments. Somehow without saying it, you captured the 'searching' quality in all human hearts. I am thinking of you extra much right now! Love ... CayCay

from my perspective we are a creature that has both heaven and hell flowing through our veins, we have been loving each other since our arrival on earth, we've been killing each other since our arrival on earth..good luck in the contest
