A triumphant man’s first call
Is made during his splendid birth;
A signal signifying to us all
His very existence on this solitary Earth.
His entry into this world of bleak mortality
Is a journey fraught with much dangerous uncertainty;
A travel through a Universe that far transcends
The beauty and wonder of God’s Almighty Hands.
Destiny and Fate shall always abide
By this traveling man’s lonely side.
For him, Life holds countless opportunities
Which are shaped by Life’s unseen mysteries.
As this man wanders further and further,
Searching for the meaning of his very own existence,
His heart and soul can withstand no longer
The anguish of his mind’s mental persistence.
Hence, he drifts throughout the passage of Time
Discovering what is unknown to him;
Wandering through Life only to sadly find
The absence of a Light that had grown quite dim.
A Light which shone blindingly,
Giving hope to one and all;
A flame that was lit with much intensity
By a child’s very first call.
