Original Submission by Nora E. Inso

The Untold Story

As years drift by like falling rain,

They leave behind both joy and pain.

Each heart conceals a silent page,

A hidden tale from every age.

Some greet the dawn with golden light,

Others wrestle through the night.

Some dine where endless blessings bloom,

While others face an empty room.

Some stand for truth with voices clear,

While others spread division’s fear.

Some choose compassion soft and kind,

While hatred clouds another’s mind.

Some gather wealth with steady hands,

While others lose what life demands.

Some keep their honor, proud and true,

While others bid their dreams adieu.

Some rise again though bruised they fall,

Refusing fate’s discouraging call.

Some bloom despite fiercest storm,

Their hopeful spirits keep warm.

Some wear a crown of sweet success,

While others live with nothing less.

Yet every soul, both rich and poor,

Holds dreams worth striving for.

So pause a while, and search your heart.

Where does your story truly start?

Which verse reflects the path you’ve trod?

Which road has led your soul to God?

For every life, both great and small,

Has meaning written through it all.

Though every journey is weak,

The truth is found by those who seek.

The story old, the story new,

May one day start and end with you.
