per request of Jeffrey Carter.... LIFE'S UNRELENTING QUESTIONS Life's unrelenting questions That recur as time's imposed Are really inconclusive. There's no answer predisposed There often aren't solutions To our quests as they are posed; They seem instead elusive Rather cryptic'ly reposed We dwell amidst confusions Often errors we've supposed We're frequently delusive With assumptions we've composed. Our life-long resolutions Never just as we've proposed - One thing that seems conclusive Is they're naught to be exposed...  [This message has been edited by Nan (edited 05-26-2000).] |

Does that mean we can't have our cake and eat it too......j/k.....hehehe  Now this is one that I could understand without an unabridged dictionary!! Which, by the way, I may be able to purchase today while I am in Center City (taking yet another test for a possible job). This is great, Nan!  Denise |

A fantastic poem, and well said, often we share for the answers without really knowing what the questions are. wonderful poem, each verse is a gem of wisdom. LIFE'S UNRELENTING QUESTIONS Life's unrelenting questions That recur as time's imposed Are really inconclusive. There's no answer predisposed There often aren't solutions To our quests as they are posed; They seem instead elusive Rather cryptic'ly reposed We dwell amidst confusions Often errors we've supposed We're frequently delusive With assumptions we've composed. Our life-long resolutions Never just as we've proposed - One thing that seems conclusive Is they're naught to be exposed... ------------------------ "Isn't it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too? " Douglas Adams. "Here chewing your tail is joy" Richey Edwards "Take nothing but pictures. Leave nothing but footprints. Kill nothing but time". Baltimore Grotto "Do not listen to a word I say Just listen to what I can keep silent" Nicky Wire |

WITHOUT question, this is excellent writing, Nan! Ponderously poetic, my friend! ~ Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |
