Guest guest Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 I'd like to share a poem I wrote (actually, it's the lyrics to a song I wrote). I wrote it in 1978. I was 29 and, although I had been raised in the Christian tradition (Presbyterian), I was questioning 'what it was all about.' It's interesting for me now to reflect on that time, because I've learned and experienced so much in the almost-30 years since then! In fact, I now have the answers to my questions! Questions (1978) I long to know the meaning of the universe how we came to be and who we are. Is there a larger being with whom we can converse or all we all alone upon the earth? Is there a God out there in the great unknown, guiding with his love the hand of fate? Or must our destinies in the wind be blown... never knowing where they will be sown? Hey, out there...I'm calling, listen to me please! Give a sign...make it clear... what should I believe? I guess I'll go on living with a wondering soul, living life without a reason why... The answer to my questions will be my lifelong goal, for if I knew my life would then be whole. Blessings & love to all of us on our paths, Claudia ______________________________\ ____Ready for the edge of your seat?

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 Oh my gosh, Claudia! That sounds exactly like what I was thinking and feeling..exactly what was on my mind, when I was 13 and 14 years old. I would pray much of the day, in tears..asking God to give me a sign that he exists..because I felt like either he didn't know I was here because maybe I wasn't planned and he didn't know I was here- or maybe I was supposed to die in an accident but by some chance I missed my fate, and he didn't realize I was still here. I am amazed, you always amaze me. Tara Claudia Lambright <newtfoodbowl wrote: I'd like to share a poem I wrote (actually, it's the lyrics to a song I wrote). I wrote it in 1978.
