PAGES OF LIFE
by JUSTINE
Oh, that You may teach me wisdom
To fathom life's inroads.
Moments by moments, life opens a new page
That is strange and perplexing.
Opening each at a time,
So great is the richness of life,
Rich in surprises and mysteries.
Read in many ways;
Like the colour of rainbow,
It is always indefinite.
Today is pain, tomorrow pleasure,
All meshed in one maze.
I search every page so I may know,
Yet I'm left without words,
To explain life's puzzles.
So I set to rewrite those pages,
A little effort, a little hope, and a little patience.
Enough to colour the dullness of life
That it may shine with brightness.
And I said,
I will not heed the shouting voices
of lies and doom,
Nor embrace the glamours of vice.
Choosing good, not brooding gloom,
Desiring the brightness thereof
And avoiding the bristling bridle;
Like mountain blooms, to live with fullness
And rejoice in life's richness.
