Why We Are



I hardly need to mention it
To pay attention to
Its meaning in the in between
You may have been there too
Where you may have already seen
The truth of it come true
But since it is the it to get
I mention it to you
That what we get when we get it
Who know then what to do
Is to love and not regret it

But to not forget it
So to grow for going through it
Knowing what it is for
That to be love is to do it
By living every day
Given the opportunity
By love to come to see
Dreams come true by what we go through
To live by love to be
As if a dream were coming true

As if we always knew
To live by giving love away
Is to be given more
To live to love us anyway
Forgive but not forget
In the in between the hard way
Love the meaning of it
Here and hereafter as before
Above all love is how
The reason having come this far
Late in the season now

The it to get I got somehow
Is love is why we are

Sometimes, it takes a long time for us to realize what is important in life.

What a beautifully worded poem, Steven! I "get it". My favorite line in this poem is, "Is to love and not regret it". For sure!

Love ya!

Jane

We are what we present to be to others - how we feel, how we love, how we forgive, how we live our lives.
