    earth is not our kiln

    we are like raw clay at birth
    laying there ready to be formed

    we're put on life's spinning wheel
    being continually formed into some shape

    some of us by gentle hands become
    ready to paint ourselves

    some of us by strong hands become
    nothing but unknown figures

    some of us wait on life's wheel
    hoping for someone to show us

    some of us take pieces from ourselves
    and give to others leaving us weak
     
    some of us steal pieces from others
    barely leaving anything for us to form

    we try to be ready to be fired in the kiln
    but not until we reach heaven, shall we be complete

    I like it, a bit different and very easy to read with deeper meaning upon second thought. Not sure of the next to last verse, your flow and meaning weaken there. Thanks for sharing, stop by and look over my postings if you find a moment, be well k
