Whether Or Not

Whether or not Whether or not we live our lives Or we gather the passing of years, Whether we crack the windows beam Warmed by the summer rain Whether our feelings are held inside When we reconsider our fleeting years, As we travel along these roads of truth Or the ones we know of fate Hold on now to our minds intent For often it is paved in gold, Whether we walk this silent earth Or be lost in the stillness of our soul Express the worth of our own design Before love and faith are past, Whether we hold our image secure Still warmed by the summer rain By m.n. marklnorton@shaw.ca
