...neither earned nor deserve.

If I were to diligently search my memory

for a single intent, thought, word or deed

that would demand a reward I would find none.

I, therefore, conclude that the joy I have and know

is a gift that I have neither earned nor deserve.

I really appreciate this piece...

Delving into thoughts of self-assessment and deeper meaning of our discoveries is an interesting poetical challenge! There can be a myriad of conclusions, but I would suggest, we should never give up searching – for what we thought was true in the beginning, may prove different as time goes by.

I wasn't attempting anything in this piece. I was just stating the facts as I know them. As always, the absolute certainty of the facts is impossible to comprehend unless they have been experienced. Most of what I write is autobiographical as I have no time for fiction or titillating the fancy of others.
I hope that one day you receive what I have been given and then you will understand.
Blessings Phil.
