-- Mosaic of My Life --

By John Herlihy

The parts of my life seek inner harmony;

The visible rooted in the invisible in life’s tree.

If hope be a part of my life,

Then my life should be framed with vision.

If love be a part of my life,

Then my life should be filled with emotion.

If pain be a part of my life,

Then my life should be etched with suffering.

If knowledge be a part of my life,

Then my life should be traced with wisdom.

If trust be a part of my life,

Then my life should be marked with acceptance.

If loyalty be a part of my life,

Then my life should be traced with faithfulness.

if courage be a part of my life

Then my life should be filled with daring,

If worship be a part of my life,

Then my life should be echoed in devotion.

If honesty be a part of my life,

Then my life should be woven with true ness.

If wonder be a part of my life,

Then my life should be filled with surprise.

Not a day goes by I don’t feel out of my depth,

Parts of my life a mosaic with empty spaces left.
