A Boy's Question A Man's Answer (Questions on a Path)

The first poem in all the books of my series. What was Given There was a field with a path Or was it a path through a field It's not a choice to find the field The field that has its own path It's a choice to go down it It's a choice to go through it We awake to the day We obey our own way We don't choose our day We don't choose our own way We are what we are We are our own history traveling forward So a child stumbles And a man is humbled For it wasn't long ago That a man found a field He wasn't looking for it He wasn't in need of it Still he had found a field A field with its own path So he chose to go down it He chose to go through it Why would we say That he chose his own way Why would we say That it's his own natural way The day began and brought the man into it The world gave the man his own way to obey The man stumbled As the man made his way through the field The man stumbled As the man made his way down the path The path through the field The boy who asks into the night "Why am I alive?"again seeks answers. Here in the second story he is confronted by the truth of his World. "What can I do? I'm overwhelmed, my life, my choices . . . I feel like I'm only here to find my end." The Voice "I'm here for you. Sometimes that's all we can be. The World is a place of many ends and many beginnings. It provides many ways for man to know and go forward into. One man cannot know another man's heart, but a man can learn to love all who are of the World. A child must learn many things to understand what it is to be alive. A man also must grow to understand how the World can allow for its own nature. A man must know what the World is. The World changes as man creates it. The World changes as it raises another generation to become those who shape it." The man awoke and was again kneeling, one hand on the ground, one hand clenched. He rose and began to go forward.
