-- Knowing the Unknown --

by John Herlihy

 

First unknowing

Then awakening

Then seeking

Then believing

Then following

Then doubting

Then losing

Then missing

Then longing

Then finding

Then living

Then feeling

Then dying

Finally knowing

IT IS A JOURNEY, BUT WHEN ONE OVERCOMES ALL THE FALLOUT FROM THE UPS AND DOWNS OF 'LEARNING' AND AT LAST DIES TO 'SELF'...THEY FINALLY COME TO KNOW...THERE IS A GOD. AMEN. ENJOYED. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...HIS+ INSPIRATIONS

Sometimes brevity is a poet's best friend. You just hit a home run.
