A Sight to Behold

So sad, when we get older
When, questions will arise
About things, not important
In, a younger person’s eyes.

But, as we question, ourselves
And, wonder, how we got here
Some answers, to those questions
Are those, what we long to hear.

Why am I, the one who I am?
Who were those, who came before?
Is there more, to where I’m at
What does history, have in store?

Why didn’t I ask those questions
When, the answers, were alive?
Will those things people should know
Be passed on to others, and survive?

When I am dead and gone
And, these questions I now ask
Be passed on to another?
Will, they take up that task?

In so many trees of life
The branches will be broken
And the roots of, who we are?
They never, might be spoken.

So many riches, not worth gold
But, some go into our soul
We should all ask those questions
For, it is a worthy goal.

To find out who, we really are
And, how we all came to be
Is a simple sight, to behold
But one, so many, rarely see.

Don’t expect to be a hero’s kin
Sometimes simple, makes the great
And, makes a little bit of living
To what makes, your history, wait!

This is an awesome poem. I think everybody asks questions as they get older. I know I do. I truly enjoyed the read!!!
