Searching for the way home. Explorer Children
We have come to this dusty plane, not to explore
Its breathtaking mountains and exquisite valleys.
We are here to seek out the truths that created eternity,
And to serve as scouts for our fellow travelers.
We are children of the God that created us.
Somewhat lost, in the form of soil and soul.
We are children of the God that created us,
Searching for the way home.

Discussion:
Well, alright. This poem might be confusing so let me see if I can make it simple. It proposes that we humans are put here on this earth to learn the great truths of all that is known and unknown. We are also here to help others; to teach them what we know; to serve when we can. The poem asserts that we are all looking for the way home, be that heaven, nirvana or simply spiritual peace. The line that refers to us as part soil and soul means that have both the earthly humanistic side and the spiritual side to us. It is our job to peaceably blend the two together. The poem says we are all searching for the way home to our creator. skp
