A Psalm of Life

The poem titled “A Psalm of Life” caught my attention the most because of speaker contradicting a listener who needs to clarify life to him as a matter of number and figures. The rest of the poem is devoted to the speaker trying to demonstrate this obscure person wrong. He depicts the way in which he accepts that no matter what passing brings, the soul will never be destroyed. Because of this, it is vital to do all one can in life to create one’s situation, which of others, way better. Actually, I am not fan of poems but there some reasons why I really like A Psalm of life because this poem includes many points especially religion and describe the purpose of life, and how one should handle the distress and struggles along the way. When I read this poem, I was shock because every single stanza has sense which is when you read this poem, definitely every person deeply think about past and future. Let me tell you my favorite parts first of the four stanza because when I read this poem many sense came to my mind for example, “Trust no Future, however pleasant! What I understand this stanza is why should be not trust the future, of course, we should not believe the future indeed extreme it could seem wonderful since future is never settled. We never know what we might face in our future. So, the writer says that it’s superior to live within the display since the show is in our hands. ” Let the dead Past bury its dead!” how should we treat our past, in my opinion, we should bury our past totally, like we bury dead people who cannot return to our display and future. This can be necessary because in the event that we bear our past alongside us, we are going never be able to advance within the show and future. The past is dead and useless.” Act-act in the living Present!” One question came my brain how does the poet as us about the ‘Present’? The writer inquires us to act fearlessly within the display and never lose confidence in God. He says that people should bury their pasts and move on in life with unused power and freshness. Our show may be excellent blessing and we ought to not destroy it by considering almost the past.” Heart within, and God overhead!” what do you think what role does God play in a person’s life personally for me God plays the most critical part in a person’s life. He makes one work towards victory indeed in the event that there are impediments in one’s way. Man ought to put his confidence entirety heartedly in God. As it were at that point will he be able to unquestionably work and accomplish awesome statures. In conclusion what I am going to tell about this poem is all people must read it because it gives a lot helps in order to solve life’ problems.
