Notes About The Poem

The Gift

Have we forgotten that we are one people, one race, the human race, so I ask that we behave as one people.

My prayer is that we who make an effort in life deserve a chance; A chance to find happiness in that we stop keeping it at arm's-length.

Whatever our faith, we need a guiding light so that we can find our way because mortality is our limitation.

Many of us may not see the light of our hopes and dreams, but it’s important that we remember the memories of our lessons, blessings and gifts within this life.

My hope, all of humanity's hope is when our road ends that we find a new life or there is something new.
