The True Story Of Our Life Poem by Shalom Freedman

THE TRUE STORY OF OUR LIFE

Our true history
The true story of our life
Can never really be told
We live moment to moment
And our lives in feeling
Are rich beyond our own knowledge
No one can know us
As we know ourselves
But we do not know ourselves completely either
We live and at the same time lose our life
Moment to moment
Instant to instant
We live and die at once
And no one knows and will ever really know
The true and complete story
Of what we are and have been.
