Jack 9

When each day’s story ebbs and flows 
Meandering through life’s highs and lows
Our limitations are what we impose
That’s generally how life goes
Free the mind and capability grows
We look to ourselves and to others for the path to show
But maybe it’s a journey that only God will know

Dear Tony, your poem is thoughtful and thought-provoking. Though we may follow a path, and hope the destination we seek will be found, we (on the inside) and random forces on the outside, have a way of creating detours and roadblocks, indeed, "That’s generally how life goes". Your final line says it all in this lovely contemplative piece. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan
