A Philosophy Of Purpose
About the reason I am here; Many years to think about it, And quite a bit of time for prayer. Not just about my family, Though, of course, I do hold them dear; How I live life along the way, There is a purpose for being here. Caring about my fellow man, Gives me a reason for being; Creating a plan for myself, Enjoying the life that I'm living. I was born to make a difference, To those I meet along the way; Be it just one or a thousand, I'm careful to choose the words I say. Put here just to help another, Get through a life that's much unknown; Gaining knowledge along the trails, Making sure in my soul I've grown. I've learned to trust in God above, Through miracles He's given me; That I have a purpose in life, It is through faith that I can be. I've learned through trial and error; Now I do whatever I can; For the Lord has called upon me, To help Him teach His sacred plan. One time I didn't understand, What life was truly all about; It has much to do with learning; Sacrifice too, there is no doubt. Yes, I've found a purpose in life; It is to be with God above; Living a life like Jesus did, Won't earn me God's eternal love. For it matters not how good we are, As we travel along our trail; Without complete faith in the Lord, On this quest we will surely fail.
