Life's journey--By Jake Aller--United States

Life's journey

62 years I have roamed this earth
I have seen it all
Been there back of beyond
Grateful that the journey
Has not ended, not yet anyway

I have learned a lot
As I have lived all over this world
Wondering what it all means
And what’s next
Grateful I am still alive

Jake 'Cosmos' Aller grew up in Berkeley, California during the 70's.  He served in the Peace Corps in Korea then taught ESL, Government, and Asian studies before and after doing graduate work in Seattle.  Then he joined the U.S. Foreign Service service serving 27 years in ten countries.  He has been pursuing a career as a full-time writer since his retirement - over 100 poems and stories published.

  1. Hi Jake, Life's journey can be tough sometimes and you made it clear that there's still so much we should be thankful for. The opportunities and experiences we have learned from through the years.
    Thank you for your contribution.

    Best wishes,
