Being Human Knowing Limitations Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Walking through pathways of life on earth, finding
information along the way, trying to assimilate
it along with the many experiences we may have.

Never knowing really if what we're doing will make
a difference in the future, just hoping and praying
it will.

Expecting miracles at times because we know there's
not a thing we can do to change things, being human,
knowing our limitations and boundaries.

Although not liking them very much, always wanting
to go far beyond them, living life the way we prefer
to ourselves.

Living on earth we constantly come up against barriers
that cannot be crossed, we become frustrated, angry,
then finally are resigned to the undeniable facts and
give in to the inevitable and lasting results.
