"Four Seasons" and Other Poems 
Samuel E. Stone

Earthly Journey

Our earthly journey leads to Heaven’s gate,
an adventure in finding one’s eternal way,
choosing good over evil before it’s too late,
temptation will plaque us every single day.

Living is a series of making the right choices,
the difference of right and wrong in our heart,
finding one’s way in the mist of all the voices,
the land where decisions all have a grey part.

Very little in this world is white and black,
good and evil mixed with the shades of grey,
searching for the courage which we often lack,
having the insight to know when to leave or stay.

Self absorbed in want of power we feel the need,
we often wage a battle within our heart and will,
pleasure and self-indulgence create it’s own greed,
in search of happiness we live for the instant thrill.

In conflicts between our wants and desires we live,
unable to understand the world until we find love,
then we learn the greatest treasures come in giving,
and leads us on the path to the Heavens high above.
