Life Poem by Susan T. Aparejo

Like a sprouting seed
Nurtured by the Unseen Hand,
Nourished by the tears of dew
Reared by tantamount protection,
Of powerful phantom.

There! rejoicing of His blessings,
Almost oblivious of his origin,
Defying the Law of the Universe,
Digging new trail against his Maker,
Determined in outwitting
The only but source of Life.

As ingratitude carved the stone,
The wound is written in One's heart,
Painting the beauty of the scar,
Of the indebtedness thrush,
Into the wilderness of His Love,
Yet love lingers limiting the limitless,
The toll for life.

Like a sprouting seed,
Yet at its zenith of its growth,
Nothing so sweet but to relinquish,
The agony of the abused and cruelty,
And when the string of elasticity ends,
The plant of life meets its closure,
A reminder, a transient existence,
Recoiled at the door of the Divine Providence.
