Lifes Mysteries

"Life is a mystery to be lived, not a problem to be solved." Gabriel Marcel, Philosopher, 1889-1973 Listen, about a world of mystery I can think of a few that are so weird From long ago passed in world history Ever see men with dark hair and grey beard Seen that cows face north or face south to eat Mystery of pyramid of Giza You ever asked why cats meows repeat Searched all day for your darn missing Visa Thought about the building of Taj Mahal Ever pondered Stonehenge- Eiffel Tower Really pondered faith beliefs and all Inside, within finding strength and power Ever said- Oh, are camel humps for thirst So many questions our minds get submersed ___________________ December 5, 2020 Poetry/Acrostic/Lifes Mysteries Copyright Protected, ID 12-1309-798-05 All Rights Reserved, 2020, Constance La France Written for the Standard contest, Lifes Mysteries sponsor, John Hamilton, Judged 12/31/20 Fourth Place

Hello Constance La France, I ponder about the pyramids of Giza. How they were built. i ponder about the Stonehenge how and why they were built. I ponder about cows facing south when they eat. Enjoy your evening my friend.

The pyramids and Stonehenge are among my favorite mysteries, though I doubt we will ever solve them. This is a superb acrostic for John's contest and I love how you included so many mysteries. Best wishes for a big win, Constance! Hugs, Carolyn
