Analysis of JOURNEY OF LIFE
Christine Cacafranca 2003 (Caraga)
Our life is a journey
There are curves and roadbends
A pattern or hello-goodbye-hello
We wind in and out of each other's lives
Yet each one of us is an instrument
To chisel out each other edges
To become like a gold tested of fire
Our potentials are on the process of becoming
To search for our place to live a better world
The essence of humans life
Is throughly cultivated by experiences
Life is full of surprises and challenges
Through time our personhood develops
Life's cycles and stages change as we unravel
The windows to maturity
The innocence that sheltered and engulfed our childhood
To the movements we forcefully left
The sweet caresses of our mothers hands
To accommodate ourselves to a more challenging world
We shed tears for both pain and happiness
That we've gone through.
