Temporary travel in a place unknown,
A thousand faces seen during a time on loan,
Sent into this planet that we call earth,
From a mere speck of dust we were given birth.

Fighting hard to find a place amongst the crowd,
Calling on all we’re given, blessed with, and endowed.
A struggle it can be from the very start,
To gain our footing and into the awaiting world depart.
Venturing out to be greeted by what awaits,
Nervously treading, step by step beyond the open gates.

What do we focus on? Who do we believe?
What can be done to be ‘qui vive’?
Surviving on...
