A Poem by Sam Freeland
"

and find

"

At the side of the road

where we have hurried along

there were so many others

singing their song

Being too busy to listen

so involved in our quest

not aware we were missing

how life treated the rest

In a life that is full

with no reason to worry

there is nothing that's dull

but why such a hurry?

To start each day

with an elaborate plan

was always the goal

since my life began

A plan gives us hope

that success will be ours

so we are able to cope

for many long hours

Now as I go

along this road again

my walk has now slowed

as I look where I've been

If you have done your best

to make the trip good

at the end you can rest

it will be time you should

I look more carefully now

to the side of the road

at the wonders I've passed

when I was so bold

I can now understand

a little bit more

about what we call life

and what it was for

Searching for meaning in life

is important to me

it gives me some hope

and helps to set me free

Now as I look down the road

I can see where its going

as I carry my load

I know I am slowing

The meaning was there

all during the trip

life is all about giving

do your best and don't slip
