Poem Artwork

Whether in innocence or arrogance


Somehow we learn to find our way


We ponder our life, seeking our relevance 


We learn how to live


We learn how to love


We learn how to play and pray


Through all the years


Our hopes, our fears


Eventually grow or fade away


Joy has its price


And through pain’s advice


We learn to live


We learn to give


 


Its not the journey’s path that troubles us


But more the fear of journey’s end


What lies ahead?


Will faith conquer death?


Will life start a new?


Where is the Truth?


Who can we Trust?


Whether in innocence or arrogance

Very nice,Michael. I especially like these lines.

Joy has its price
And through pain’s advice
We learn to live
We learn to give

Through either of the two...we do somehow manage. But when one is following arrogance, sometimes you look around and find you are walking very much alone.
I like this write Michael..it cuts to the heart of life.
