Life's Journey Poem by AHO Speaks

Life's Journey

Oh God I am the beneficiary of all that I see
I want to be the benefacor of all that you gave to me.

To be a participant with all the others in life
A contributor to share, in ending any strife.
To appreciate all I have been given before and when I asked
A journey with a compassionate one of time and never a task.
Before I can see I must have vision followed by sight
To see the gentleness of God the creator and not its might.

I see the barren trees that seem to stand without reason
Stark and naked; waiting for another earthly season.

Those who may appear to sleep under the sod
Waiting for their moment, to be touched by the universal God.
I see the trees resting before their time to renew
Similarity to the message which came from you.

The green shoots eventually appear one by one
In the spring of nature under a beautiful earthly sun.
Living green displays the cover our earth
Surely a magnificent gift of spiritual worth.

Maturity into a foliage of brilliant color and more
Drifting to earth for another renewal and not a chore
