The chasm that lies between the beginning of days
and the passing of our time on earth
is filled with arduous adventures and pleasant times
It is like a carnival thrill ride and at other times
like unto a serene day spent at the lake
yet always is life filled with purpose balanced by expectancy and hope
to run this often times perilous race patience and faith are required
along with a healthy dose of humility
pride makes us fall upon our faces but tenaciousness make us pick ourselves up and struggle onward toward the prize overcoming the obstacles
strewn along the way
There are many failures along the way to temper our successes
which teach us valuable lessons on the journey of life
to make us better citizens of this earth helping us to find our place
among the masses of humanity till we come at last to that final bridge
called death and eternity.
