What is left when we relent?

Possibly our greatest call
in the life we lead each day,
is to face the darkness in ourselves
so that we may find a better way.

We are our own teachers,
perhaps we fail us best,
we choose the lessons learnt each day
then life provides the test.

Without question we are children,
we will always wonder "why?"
and just as it starts making sense,
we prepare ourselves to die.

But glory lies not at the end,
Its sown into the moon and sun.
Whats important is so obvious
that it escapes us one by one.
