What is it that makes us all the people that we are? What designates the happiness and measurement of scar? What quells the rate of learning to a scale we understand? What compensates the shortfalls that we carry in our hand? Does everyday experience establish where we go? Or does a capsule melt within to show the things we know? Or does each found experience enlighten us to see The reason why things happen, and just what is yet to be? Too often we expect that change will chase us till we do But I have found unless you look, you’ll never see what’s new And chances taken show a way you never saw before So ever lost the people now while searching more and more What is it that makes us all the people that we are? Is it what surrounds us all, the thought of mind afar? Or friends and the surroundings that we share in everyday Is it based on principals or blessing that we pray? I think our seeds were seeded well, before the time of birth And though we try, we cannot change what waits for us on earth The genes of generations past have made us all as one Who often wonder more what if and what if they'd have done. |

I think our seeds were seeded well, before the time of birth And though we try, we cannot change what waits for us on earth Oh yes, I truly believe this! It's not I believe, how we can "change" our lives once on earth, but rather, how to honour our existance. But, then again, if I think about it too long....I just get dizzy.  Great write once again Rick. hugs, Chris Poetry is an echo, asking a shadow to dance. |
