7. Explain how your poem connects to your personal philosophy of life.

The poem “The Park Bench” relates to my philosophy of life in many ways. It shows that the road that life is taking you on has an indefinite purpose. Therefore, one must have faith and trust that hope will help them get through and allow one to experience the best in life. I think that not knowing what’s to come is the beauty about life.  Life is about talking risk and it dares to jump. In my opinion the blind little boy is good role model for everybody; he’s showing that life is about getting back your feet after losing hope. I believe that everybody must certainly make use of every second of their life because the truth is time goes by too fast and nobody knows when’s the end of our life’s journey. It also showed me that we have a responsibility to rely on nature to lead the way and yet have faith for the best to come. We should not force ourselves to be someone else or to do something that they aren’t known for doing, we all have to constantly live life second by second, moment by moment and go with the flow. Every so often we are hectic with too many diverse things that we forgot to slow down, take it easy and appreciate our lifetime journey.
