once said
my motto is
as i live and learn
is to dig
and be dug in return
when i think about
my position on the earth
my role in society
my purpose in life
i am constantly seeking
that understanding

i think of a man
of strength
compassion
safety and comfort
i see him standing
emitting rays of love
seeking a comprehension
