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.
