The Journey

From the cradle to the sky
When a man reaches too high,
He loses his roots and mind
For every gain has a price.

From childhood to adulthood
When a child grows to be a man,
He never does things he should
For is not earth a promised land?

From birth to death
A man comes to many crossroads,
Always deciding on life’s quests
The more he craves, the heavier the load.

From life to life
A man wanders on and on,
Every time rolling the dice
Everyday a fool is born.

From fullness to emptiness
Is a conviction of the heart,
With sadness and happiness
Let him make a start.
