Existent



There is an abundance
Of joys, sorrows,
Love and hate,
Fear and courage,
In this life.
Some will say life
Is not worth the struggle
As their is nothing - but -
There is an abundance,
Especially of hopes and dreams,
Which temper the sting
Of life and death
And time and place.
They make possible
Love and happiness,
Give strength to bear
War and crime and punishment
Hurt and agony and
Hate.
There is courage - the courage of youth
Born of uncertainty.
There is courage - the courage of adulthood
Born of fear and necessity.
Denied the omnipotence of
God
We hope and dream in a state of
Incomprehension.
