People Poem by AHO Speaks

My life includes me and justly so; it includes you
I do not separate productiviity from creativity, for that is another view.
My journey has included the spectrum of life and all that therein
Visions, relationships; giving and sharing, and all without sin.

I would not trade nor swap for what I have already had
For my journey has been more joyous than that of sad.
As I had no specific spiritual awareness of this earthly place
But the feelings were there; when I saw; your beautiful, handsome face.

My joy is because of each one of you that I did meet
You removed the bitterness from my life and made it sweet.
I could have existed without some one like me
But the beauty would have lacked substance and feeling; you see.

Even heaven would pale by what I have had since birth
A family of brothers and sisters; each with inestimable worth.
Time of childhood not to build but to share earthly glee
Friends and temporary enemies; but each valued; to become part of me.

Young adulthood trying to find the key to a future door
The one to contribute to others, without it becoming a chore.
A loving relationship with another to share and provide
Sharing and giving; and seldom to take sides.

Then to parents whom the children call grand
Sharing a love that is so immense that there is no demand.
To take time and use it as you would desire
The cool of the day or the passion of a fire.

The finality to life is not in a sentence or two
Rather in the eight words of; ' I truly did love, each one of you.'
Image our total life in sentences but then you decide
Is life just moments to love; or must we have also cried?
