Our Design

A Poem

Our Design

Seeing that were gods creations
Breathing the air he gave us
Blessing us with the will power
Deciding whether we execute

We design our fate in this earth
Taking one step at a time
While our parents only give us birth
In this vertical challenge incline

As infants our knowledge is weak
Yet we still choose to be Ignorant
Our parents think they know a lot
they know enough to guide us

Adulthood comes around the corner
We make improper choices
Mistakes leading to displeasure
Crafted with our own deep voices

Some may go on and perfect their mistakes
Master what they had failed previously
Proudly positioned above milestones
Gaining self-respect through deadly cyclones

judgment is vital when wishing to be loyal
Lay your soul on your sleeve
God will give you what is it you need
Design your fate, be wise and royal

Very nice choosing your path. something all of us must face. It would be nice to have a road map, directions, but we did not come with that.
Thank you
Andrew

Beautifully written ...

The last three stanza's spoke the loudest to me, and actually they screamed at me. I know you sent this to me a while back, but it wouldn't have hit me as hard as it hit me this morning.

Today it is exactly what I needed to read, thank you.

I really like the message in this. We stumble through early life only to have the chance to redeem ourselves in adulthood. It is a perfect system.

Thanks for sharing.
Best,

Good advice for the weary souls who believe their lives are futile. We must embrace ourselves without judgment, and rise above our obstacles. Nothing can come against us when we know who we truly are....
