Becoming Humans is Hard
In Pursuit of Purpose
On the road of life, hand in hand, Woman and man, across the land. A journey bound by ancient ties, Rooted deep, reaching for the skies. From tender touch and guiding light, Sprouts the seed, taking its flight. No sin, no shame, just life unfurls, A picture woven in this world. A child, toothless in its quest, Through winding paths, it must invest. Hard to rise, hard to descend, Letters learned, a journey without end.
To kindle hope, to quench despair, Life’s lessons are heavy to bear. To keep one’s word, a daunting feat, In the dance of becoming, beats. To part with kin, a heavy heart, Yet, the road ahead must start. In wisdom’s lap, paths may stray, But the challenge is to find the way.
To find the spring of love’s sweet source, To spread one’s wings and take the course. Gathering wisdom, through the years, Humanity unfolds, conquering fears. In the gathering of thoughtful lore, Until one says, “I am, and more.” Hard it is, the journey’s span, Yet, in the end, we become a man.
Through trials and tests, the human stride, Climbing mountains, the soul can’t hide. To lift, to fall, to grasp life’s letters, The heart learns, and the spirit betters.
A promise made, a sacred bond, Yet, understanding is beyond. Fire of hopes may dim and wane, Yet, new flames spark, dispelling pain. In the web of time, a complex art, Connections strained, yet not torn apart. A child’s departure, a bittersweet tune, Underneath the sun, beneath the moon. With every hardship, a lesson unfolds, A story written, as life molds. To find the way, when the path turns tight, The struggle persists, but the spirit takes flight.
To quench the thirst for love’s embrace, To endure life’s swift, relentless pace. In the forge of time, the soul refines, A dance of shadows, where the sun still shines. As years amass, wisdom’s harvest reaps, Through joy and sorrow, the heart keeps. Hard it is, the road we tread, Yet, in the becoming, our essence is spread.
With every smile and tear we shed, A symphony composed, in hues of red. To grasp the fleeting, cherish the now, A timeless vow, in life’s sacred vow.
Through seasons changing, and winds that blow, The human spirit continues to grow. In the dance of moments, both joy and strife, We navigate the labyrinth, called life. To rise above, to learn, to teach, Lessons found within life’s beach. A journey long, with lessons to glean, A quest for purpose, a dream to dream.
As sunsets paint the sky aglow, Reflections of a life we sow. In the image of being, so grand, We find our place, hand in hand. So, let the story gracefully unfold, In the book of life, each chapter told. Hard it is, the path we wend, Yet, in the end, we’re more than a friend.
In the stillness of the night, do dreams find their way? In the quiet moonlight, does the heart find peace at bay?
Through the twists and turns of life’s winding track, Can we pinpoint where true happiness stacks? In the ticking of time and the everyday grind, Does purpose reveal itself, clear and defined? As we navigate through moments, near and far, Can we confidently say who we truly are?
As we walk through moments, near and far, Can we confidently say who we really are?
