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.
