Form J - Just Write Me a New Poem

Journey
Did you know that mankind is on a Journey?
When one is born they are on a Journey. They come to the Garden of Life on the Earth's surface. Starting as a babe and ending up if lucky a very old man or woman. Why a journey one may ask? Since the human being may never know why or what will happen to them on this Journey. They are given an amount of unknown years. That are spent in hours, days and years to develop into either a wise and wonderful person or a devil and horroble being that must be wisked off the planet.

Born into what is called on earth a family (one or more parents, woman and man). There may be siblings (brother or sister to help) or just one body. If on this journey there are good parents to teach and encourage the earthling, a good out come may be expected and the task completed. But on this journey anything can happen and the individual could be in danger, and their life could end abruptly: through murder, suicide, accidental misadventure and the like. Bad outcomes can also happen on the journey and the person can be thrown off their goal.

But what is the Journey? A given span of time to complete an unknown assigned task to the end of a long or short goal. This is the journey we humans are all on.  The journey can and does expand the human experience and multiplies the existence of the human race. We must find the task and stay alive long enough to complete the journey which is the goal. The time span is different for each human and the completed task or goal is not known in the beginning of life. 

Happiness, joy, suffering and sadness are intertwined on the journey of life. One can experience one or all of these senses going along in the journey. Some humans are given challenges to prove their staminer. But always the journey is the goal and the completion of the unkown task. 

Some will complete the task and live long. While others will not complete the task and live short. Or they may complete the task and the goal ends on a long note or a short one. Since it is never known while on Earth what we are here to do, when the journey ends the Creator who allowed us to take the journey will enlighten us at the end or so we are told. 

The best part is that one can enlisi the aide of fellow travellers if you so chose. 
And everything goes on this journey. Nothing is held back. Good things and bad can happen all at the same time. Some can handle, some cannot and leave the journey before time. There are ten Great rules to follow while on the journey. Love the Creator and Love one another are two of the great rules. And one can chose to live by or break the rules. However there are consequences to every act. And depending on what one chooses, the outcome could be great or devastating to the person's soul. Which puts them in mortal danger. Heaven is the preferred end destination for the journey. And Hell can be the worst end to this journey for some. So choose to follow the rules for the preferred journey's end.

It is a never ending Journey and all I can say is that you hang in there and try to enjoy the ride.
