Ponderings Poem by B.J. Ayers

Ponderings

Have you ever wondered?
Why you were born, to whom you were born,
The time you were born,
These are thoughts we all have pondered.

Why this generation, but not before,
Were here, but maybe not,
Will you come again, we all hope so,
These are thoughts we all explore.

Is life a cycle, or maybe not,
Questions we asks, but have few answers,
Was it a boom, or divine intervention,
Is it a play, are we in the plot,

What is hope, is it all worth while,
Do we need it, or maybe not,
Questions we ask, answers we seek,
Is it real, are we part of a file,

Questions we ask, answers we seek,
Sought by all, by all mankind,
Generations past, generations to come,
Are we strong, or are we weak,

Hope is real, without it is not,
We all need hope, without it is fear,
Answers we seek, with hope we may find,
Without it we die, without it we rot,

Why take the chance, or do we cry
Is it worth the effort, or maybe not,
With hope we live, without it we die,
Answers we seek, it is worth the try.
