This is a very simple poem. Maybe my first. I wrote this many years ago. Although it is short and simple, one may still perceive the essence of its truth. These four feelings are a mainstay in our "human condition." We all have to come to terms with them when our personal development will be challenged from time to time. To succeed as a human being, requires mastering and controlling them and learning to grow with them by sharing with others. Only then, will we find true fullfilment and purpose in our existence.
