Mike Gentile Poet Rhyme

To Make Us Whole

Beyond the comprehension 
                       of but one segmented soul
Lies the one intention 
                of the source to make us whole

Growing and all knowing 
                               for us al to be a part
Each of us determines
                       how we recognize its start

How in the beginning
                       if there was one to believe
Wouldn’t we be grinning
            with that knowledge up our sleeve

For some it’s God or Universe
                                Intelligence for sure
For some it’s not a rhyme or verse
                        there’s nothing to explore

For me, I keep open mind
                         respecting others’ claims
I just know I’m glad I’m here  
                        not worried by the names

Jennifer Proxenos February 3, 2023 at 12:06 PM Hi Mike i had many questions, so at 44 years of age began my 1st degree and one of my majors was Biblical Studies - still with no real answers - I graduated but decided to do a B.A Hons degree now graduated wit Honors, butwas more Confused than ever. So I advocate that each unique individual believes as the choose to believe with their hearts and minds. I never presume i will reach those pearly gates,I can hope though, because we all sin every day in small ways. A stupendous poem Mike Kudos my friend B and H Jen. Mike Gentile February 4, 2023 at 5:04 AM One can never know I presume until this life has ended, I just try to be the best person I can be while on this earth! Happy Saturday!!
