Comment from Fabiha_N
This is a well-written and clear poem describing the coming of every new generation. Many events in our lives will come and go, but we can't dwell on the past. Our lives will not have any worth unless we give it purpose. I like the many questions you asked. They were all deep and meaningful, and it gets readers thinking. Great work :)

Comment from Susan B. Lamphier
A very thoughtful poem. It seems, in your words, that you are contemplating your mortality, in kind of a sad way. Minimally, it gives me a pause. Indeed, you ask, why are we here? Well, to bring beauty to the world, as you have done with this poem. Nicely done!

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written poem. Each generation learn about previous generations and their history while the current generation make their own history for the next generations to learn about.

Hi Gloria, Hugs +++ for your stars and comments yes questions to ponder I am very happy with my life cant complain but sometimes I wonder what it is all about. Trying to leep up bit worked today and now too tired to do another one LOL cheers Christine
Comment from lyenochka
All good contemplative thoughts. We do all want to make the most of our lives while on earth. We shouldn't get bogged down by the past except to learn from it. But we can look to the future. Ending with what to do "today" is a good thought.

Comment from BeasPeas
Hi Christine. I think we all ponder the same questions you raise in your poem, which I enjoyed reading. I like this stanza:
"And when I go who'll really care
That I have come and gone?.
I'll take my leave and go elsewhere
New places then belong."
and
the last one the best. The 'now' is all we've got. Enjoy it.
