The main reason for me picking this poem is because the name of it really
stuck out to me. Then as I read it I felt that it already is or will play a role in my life. I felt that the way the words were sorted and put were very meaningful. As I read it and began to understand it, I became more aware of the true value and meaning of it. I also see life as a journey. The over all poem to me was just uplifting and has opened me in a way I can `t explain.
I think that this poem envolves Sacramental Awarness. It`s trying to express to us that God is all around us. That we need not to give up but to strive for greatness in life. Not to dwell on the bad but to make good out of it. I think it`s trying to make us aware of temptation in the world, that causes us to turn away form God. I think it`s trying to make us aware that life isn`t easy but it`s worth living.
The poem to me is saying that life is short but hard to live. That there are many down points, but there`s those few great uplifting points. Which are the sorrows and joys in life. That when life is to the point where you can bearly stand it and have fallen or turned away from God. That He is there to push you, pull you, and to let you know what he holds for you in the end. To me its letting me know that God is there. He is the one behind me and you pushing and letting us know things our alright. It`s expressed to me that there is a God, that only appears in mear faith and in us believing. It explains how we need to take a stand in life. Where as were tempted by our friends and others to turn from God that He is there standing with you and pushing. I think this poem was great and had a lot of meaning to it.
