Carrying our crosses wherever we go at great lengths,
Not knowing where we end up in the great future,
Whether we see the light full of major sutures
Or discern our choices to make the best of our lives
And rise to the occasion with words, not with knives.
Come and join with me on this life-long journey,
To create a community of wise sensibilities,
To carry our crosses and to envision our lights
So that we can say to ourselves "I am alive!" with might.
Welcome, welcome, my lads and lasses to this blog
As I invite you to peruse a piece of my wide world.
And to share a piece of our worlds together,
In an ongoing creation of life to cherish and savor,
And partake this common body of cross and light
As vagabonds of our own eloquent endeavors.
May God bless us all!
Great start! I like it!
ReplyDeleteNice poem! I do agree with the sentiment that none of us know where we will end up “in the great future”. That’s why it is important to take life one chapter at a time and to achieve what can be achieved within that narrower compass. Looking at life as a whole can be too overwhelming. Keep on blogging!
