Notes About The Poem

Who Am I You Ask

 
"Chugging through life, we've come far,
pause dear hearts, to ask who we are."
                        
                 Quote by - Unseeking Seeker
                 
I think about my childhood days,
For some parts I was in a daze;
I think, do I remember it?
Or did stories create this maze !

Soul, spirit and character knit,
Though emotions have changed a bit;
Each joy and pain seems enduring,
For have courage to never quit !

Health fades as I am maturing,
pills to slow death are assuring;
my life quest a quiet battle,
words of kindness reassuring !

My life journal I call-  that hill,
To not write words never that ill;
Observations page after page,
My words may make some hearts rattle !

I have arrived at a bliss stage,
It transcends all joy, pain and rage;
And cleanses my soul of all grief,
To fling open with glee my cage !
