Journeys

On life's journeys do we stop to reflect
    take stock of where we have been
  Asking pointed questions helps us select
    a path forward to avoid taint of sin

  Where have we been? Where are we going?
    To Whom will we report in the end?
  In order to reap, we have to keep sowing
    Lovingly, our gardens to tend

“To Whom will we report…” you have a penchant for asking the tough questions. Great reflective poem. John

Should have been a news reporter. They gotta learn how to ask a straight question, and then shut their mouths...

I gotta get me a new 'sowing machine.' I can't even bend down to plant the seeds! Thanks, David

I love this poem, Gershon I wish I had penned it as you seem to have the same mind set as I do. I thought the last two lines are very uplifting. Thank you. Take care, Shirley
