LIFE

What is life?
Nothing but mere dust
Gathered from the earth
Formed into man
And breath was blown into this shell
And soul and spirit were placed within this body of dust
By the Almighty God
He allows us to roam this earth
From whence we came
He has given us a period of time
To sow
To water
To reap
Physically and verbally
He allows us to feel love
To see hate
To feel the pain of the death of loved ones
He will take us to the end
And return us to the earth
For others to walk upon us
Our spirit He takes back
Our breath He takes away
Our soul?
Our soul
This body, turns to dust
To blow in the wind
Taking us to places we had dreamed about
To places we feared to tread
This dust, once had breath
Once had life
Once had a soul
Dust. Blowing in the breeze
Going to and fro
Until the end
Until the end
Our soul?
Our soul.
