The Unknown Life We Lead.

The life that I lead is unknown to me,

How can this be? you ask me,

Well you see I live in a land that is free.

Well written and thought provoking. This could have so many different underlying meanings and I believe that to each reader it will interpret this to fit their own life and beliefs. As for me, I see this write as saying that because we are free we can do anything we set our mind to. The opportunities are endless... therefore the life we lead may very well be "unknown" to us. Great writing. Smiles from Lolita

This is a very interesting write Emily!?:) I read it a few times; trying to absorb and grasp the message within it? Wisdom I am sure to be found!?:) So what is my guess? To live in a land that is free~can often offer many temptations to the point of overwhelmed~leading sometimes to perhaps, a tad bit lost? Smile~Was I close? Warmth To You & Yours, John!~Have A Beautiful Day~Bye!:)

I like this poem, it reflects upon our Lord Jesus, he is the one who came and gave his life so that we may all live in a land that is free, we have freedom through him, if the son set us free then we are free indeed, God bless you from diane
