Life

A poem about the reality of life.

Life in this world, it's up and down.

One day in the clouds, one day underground.

Life in this realm, I do not understand.

I am a pilgrim in this weary land.

In this life, there are two things I know:

Christ is my hope, and this world is not my home.

Yet, many things I shall never understand.

Like Algebra 3, and man's nature of sin.

These few words summarize life:

Man is desperate and full of strife.

Outside of Christ, there is no hope.

Like a devil's hell, dark and alone.

Counter verse:

I don't believe in much of anything,
I have faith in being good and what it brings.

I don't agree that outside of Christ, there is no hope rather there are so many faiths, I think there is scope.

I'm sorry that you feel this way. I know from my personal experience that the only true hope and satisfaction that I have found has been found through Christ. I hope that my writing accurately displays this hope.

[Parsimony]

Yes, it's a very humble poem. I just don't feel the same way. I rather not get into a theologian debate here. I think there are so many different people in the world with so many different perspectives and I respect each and every one to have their own.

[AnnaKat_Brown]

I do not wish to debate either. This is not the place. Thank you so much for the review!

My favorite line..."Christ is my hope, and this world is not my home."

So simple, yet so hard to remember sometimes.
