Life brings forth a chance to share
That free will gift, God is so fair

With choices made, we fill out life
Some work just great, some cause such strife

We'll never please the masses all
Some outright laugh, and tears may fall

The human mind, is but a speck
Our Maker holds the total deck

We see no further than our view
Internal thought, that's it, it's true

Why do some think, they are so big
We'll all end up, a snapped-off twig

That tree of life, grows every soul
Get into place, don't be so bold

Well that's my view, of what I see
But don't forget, I'm only me

I've often pondered
when kitchen's floundered
in waters oh so deep
a plumber's mind
when oh so kind...
such matters as he'd keep

and now I know
why here, it shows
a twig, a break, shall come
but a plumber,
with a poet's heart
shall take it all in sum.

Well done!
