An Honourable Journey of Life

Alone we come to this world,
And again alone we go;
In the mid only a few we really know.

But in our lives the people that flow,
It isn’t important how many we know;
Important is how and what we feel,
The feelings should be clean and genuine.

People may come and people may go,
Even amongst all we may feel alone;
It’s not aloneness we need to fear,
Our hearts and minds we need to clear
Of all the negativities that we bear;
And make our life’s journey an honour.
