Poem 516 – The Race of Life

Like Race Around the World,
we’re traveling through life,
adopting different speeds,
and taking different routes.
Each life that’s lived’s unique,
a one off gift of time,
blending both choice and chance,
making us who we are.
The victory I’ve found
is not in these but those;
in those with whom I’ve travelled,
and those I’ve loved and served.

Tonight Alpha met Race Around the World.

Poem 495 – Seeking Faith

Tonight, a room of strangers
Set out on an adventure
Not knowing where they’d end up
But setting out regardless

Guided by their questions
And listening to each other
They found a path together
Searching for some answers

Having different perspectives
They expected different opinions
But overlapping views
Lead to a richer treasure

Tonight was our first Alpha session, always an exciting exploration of faith. https://alpha.org.uk/
