Here is a poem my brother Tanner wrote. We Mangums are gifted writers. :)
Hopes and Fears
I often ponder the reason we’re here
Terror’s temptations in the black of night
Humanity humbled by pillars of fear
Searching for answers, opaque and unclear
Feeling deep love, but it’s not always right
I often ponder the reason we’re here
Misery overcomes me, stealing my tears
Blurring my hope, wisdom, passion, and sight
Humanity humbled by pillars of fear
Hanging onto loved ones, holding them near
Holding on together, clasping hands for dear life
I often ponder the reason we’re here
To encourage the race, for mankind we cheer?
Yet too scared to let go, like a beach-flown kite
Humanity humbled by pillars of fear
God’s scorching love enveloping atmospheres
Not enough evidence to love with all of our might
I often ponder the reason we’re here
Humanity humbled by pillars of fear
