 The Wonder of Life’s Mystery

by John Herlihy
 
A story is written
A story for each of us
A story we don’t know
A story we come to know
Shoes for walking that we fill
Choices we make of free will
Eyes with visions that we see
Ears that listen to life’s melody
Actions we pay for in life’s store
Days that crash upon life’s shore
Values we foster at our discretion
Answers we find we never question
A fabric we sew as an earned destiny
Born from the wonder of life’s mystery

Yes, "earnest destiny" could be said for your dedication to sharing thoughts and dreams that impact and offer new thought to many of us. Thank you for posting so often and giving this poet something to look forward to each day.

An interesting view of everyone's story. An autobiography will release some of that mystery.

Prosetry at Work by Odin odin@aflx.com

This book represents a thirty-day period of my poetry journal. Each poem addresses the dominant thoughts occupying my mind during the early morning hours of a given day.
