Life and I
For life, were we made
To live, were we given
In life, we learn to live
Yet in life's pursuits, life is spent
In search of ways to live life,
we there haste
Yet in haste, life do we waste
As haste makes waste,
alas, wasted life abound
In haste, has life passed by,
for life is in a haste,
it waits not
In life, we fail to behold,
the essential offerings of life,
scripted on the canvass of the soul,
revealed in the daylight and silent echoes thereof;
beseeching faces and eyes all around,
beckoning for life's essence;
the warm and caring humanness,
the soothing acts of goodwill
For them, life cares not,
for them, must I care
For in caring, would I have loved,
my neighbor and my God
Only then, would I have lived,
only then, have I life
