How vast the world's despair <br />Owned far past poet sensitivities <br />Where the death of hope oft means death <br />Or the living dead we all have met. <br /> <br />The lesson may be simply this <br />Love each day as fully as you can <br />Core requirements not withstanding <br />And when error comes welcome the education <br />And recite: 'I will learn, again.' <br /> <br />Pay attention to keep your zipper up <br />But not too great a caution for what other's think <br />And practice prayer or other <br />That helps connect to source <br />And when the world says: <br />'There you are.' <br />You know the greater truth, <br />And keep faith with the strangeness of your path.<br /><br />Bill Grace<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/on-keeping-faith/
