Our Life's Journey

A poem about the life we must travel

Our Life's Journey

From the moment we are born, our life's journey begins.

Nobody knows how long it will be, from beginning to end.

Your life's journey, will be different from mine.

Even though our paths, may cross from time to time.

There are paths in life, you will choose to take.

Then there are paths, chosen for you, in which you must partake.

Each path carries, it's own triumphs and trials.

Some paths are amazing, while other paths,

may leave you in denial.

Some life's paths, bring love and joy.

like a family reunion , or the announcement of a new baby boy.

Our life's paths, may cause pain and grief. Such as losing a job,

or having health issue after health issue, without any relief.

Everyone's life's journey, changes day by day.

It may go from skies of blue, to skies of grey.

We must learn to live' in the moment, for the day.

Cherishing the good we have, in hopes it's not taken away.

Your trials may become many, your triumphs may become few.

But you have no choice, You must travel, those paths too.

These paths, when taken, will only strengthen you.

You will soon learn, you are stronger than you knew.

It is our life's journey, that makes us who we are.

So when your path seems to hard to travel,

just remember, you have gotten this far.

[John the Baptist]

Very sound philosophy in this one, especially the line about living in the moment, for the day. Too many people spend their time dealing with regret and dread.
