....Traveling.....This Way.....But Once Poem by James B. Earley

From whence we come we shall return
Walking this way but once
Through trial and error thus we learn
Walking this way but once

Avenues a-many mistakes aplenty
Walking this way but once
Sometimes a crowd then hardly any
Walking this way but once

Spiritual pathways...incomplete
Walking this way but once
Feast or famine still we eat
Walking this way but once

Friend or foe we may never know
Walking this way but once
That smile we see ain't always so
Walking this way but once

But come what may this trip we make
Walking this way but once
Let's cut the bullshit for goodness sake
...Walking this way but once

Contrasting faces.....all sisters....and brothers
Walking this way but once
What the hell...are we here for....if not each other
...Traveling....this way.....but once
