The Journey

Though unconscious we are born
In pains we live, we fade, we die
But life like river flows on
Quickly and slowly we pass bye

The wave, the tide
They blow and kick us about
We wrestle, we fight
We cry, we laugh out

Life is for a season
Like flowers in sunrise
The tour for a reason
In life we strive to rise

On the path we stumble
Depressed and forlorn
The undulation unbearable
Bliss! Bliss!! We beckon

Life is really a journey
Some exit, some excel
Like pilgrims we journeyed
Though its path no one can tell

Like wayfarers we progressed
Dark cloud on our path abound
The rain, the sun our goal repressed
Excruciating pains, still we onward bound

I started copying the favorite passage ways for me, and I was copying the whole poem, so I said, "FAV this one, Silly," and I did. I love it so much, as it says exactly what I wanted to say today, but now I have discovered that you have already said it exactly right!
