The Truth About Life

RomoloTavani

The Truth about Life:

We are born with inner light

Brilliant from within

Seeking to know all

Encouraged by world's wonder

Held back by nothing

Soul knew no limits

Motivated from within

‘Til life’s truths exposed

Fairy tale endings

We believe were promised are

Far and few between

Disappointment rains

Hurt, suffering overwhelm

Raise questions of truth

Cause commanding doubt

Of any goodness in life

Our cynicism rules

Brews darkness within

Eclipsing window to heart

Blinds us to light and

The Secret of Life:

Acceptance of all that is

That which stands is truth

To find meaning in

The sunrise and the sunset,

The joys and sorrows

Knowing that to learn

What each may teach, we need first

To accept the last.

That each step on our

Life’s journey was essential

To bring us to now
