Moving House
Tell me what is life about
I wonder why we’re here,
some people have a lovely life
while others live in fear.
A state of mind, or so they say
but I don’t really know,
there’s more to life than meets the eye
my instincts tell me so.
It could be it’s for learning
for the time we’ll join the whole,
why are we left to fathom out
the purpose of our role.
I know we carry with us
lots of things that we just know,
in everything we say and do
these guide us how to go.
To progress the human spirit
is that what our lives are for,
then why must some be at the top
with others on the floor.
I feel there’s many levels,
both in Heaven and on Earth
of eternal understanding
that we seem to lose at birth.
Whatever be our mission
through our happiness and pain,
I think that life’s for living
both in sunshine and in rain.
They say there’s many mansions
in our Father’s house at last,
maybe we are just moving house,
our time in one has past.
I hope life’s contributions
are the references we send
to help our Father’s landlord
move us to a house with friends.
