모두가 행복하게 걸어가야 할 길

 

 

 

 

                                                                                                 

                                                                                               

                                                                                          깊은 곳에 뿌리를 내리고 사는 것 처럼

                                                                                          흔들리지 않는 자기를 사는 것 나무처럼

                                                                                          그걸 사는 거다

 

                                                                                           봄 여름 가을 긴 겨울을 높은 곳으로

                                                                                           보다 높은 곳으로 쉬임없이 한결같이

                                                                                           사노라면

                                                                                           가슴 상하는 일 한두 가지겠는가
