Notes About The Poem

An edited oldie for The Truth Poetry Contest of  Robert James Liguori

Truth

Some say we are but bodies with a brain
and that the heart (when it can beat no more)
will have an end; I see no reason for
this way to think when answers seem so plain.

There’s meaning to our lives and what we are!
All nature is the proof. There is rebirth
abounding all around us on this earth!
Look heavenward! Truth glitters in each star.

As surely as we always see the dawn
when we awaken, I know truth is THIS:
God wants our growth so we can taste of bliss,
and this we’ll do - for souls go on and on!

Then I knew . . . Oh- how then, I would always know, that the Sun would rise in the east again and forever. ~ even as "Love Content", confounds the fool.

"when we awaken, I know truth is THIS: God wants our growth so we can taste of bliss, and this we’ll do - for souls go on and on!" Wonderful writing! I agree. Though I have met a few bodies, whom I have enjoyed, grateful for lack of brains. I have enough of my own to give myself nausea at times.
