Notes About The Poem

Writing Challenge A Quotes - Poetry Contest
Sponsored by Constance La France,
Based on her quote: "All of us are on a journey- and the answers are unspoken" 

First Place

Life's Journey

Our journey begins
      the moment we're born-
            and where it will lead to,
remains unknown.
As children, we're guided-
       not left forlorn;
             but, soon comes that time
to walk on our own.

Our journey becomes
      a puzzle to find
            the answers to what
our purpose will be.
Some steps give us sight-
      and others will blind
            the path we must follow
to clearly, see.

And so it continues-
      this journey of ours
            with steps that unfold
a lifetime on Earth;
With answers unspoken,
      we reach for the stars-
            unscramble life's puzzle
given at birth.
