One moment borrowed from the lords of time
To recollect and reflect on the past,
For wisdom whispers with a voice sublime
And to his words I know I must hold fast.
So many times we stumble and we fall,
Each bruise reminding us to think again,
Through mire in battlefields we'll walk or crawl,
To muster courage for the next campaign.
But through each darkest night, a tiny spark
will flicker as an urge to bring us home,
And sapience, the sails upon my bark
Will steer me through the reefs where I may roam.
The rules of life are often cold and stern,
But heaven waits for those who truly learn.

BEAUTIFUL AND INSPIRING!!!!
Everyday we run across things to bring us sadness and pain but go on we do and always we make it back to the wonderful world. We keep our thoughts and our feelings about us and they help us struggle through.
