Here and There

Here and there, people grow;
Grow by life’s challenges.
Challenges multiply but go;
Go to new lands.

Lands are here and there for better;
Better for green pastures.
Pastures inviting people and animals;
Animals certainly trail weather.

Weather’s sometimes attractive;
Attractiveness brought us here.
Here is one more struggle;
For life is all about wounds and scars.

Scars can go; others remain indelible.
Indelible because we live to experience;
Experience for building our humanity.
Humanity on a new land here;
Here is not the endless end.
