Purpose

I watch the world around me As time passes, as it fades Bound together by an endless clock That string together days I sit there and I ponder life And as to why I’m here For life is but a headlight And we are each a speechless deer I take in my surroundings Its complexity I analyze Emotions, colors, feelings All I seem to recognize I realize then that all of this Could not portray such pointlessness And that every life has a meaning True for every human being God has created all this life With the precision and sharpness of a knife Every man is different and unique With different goals in which we seek Every color, shape, or size We are all the same within God’s eyes So for those of you who search for purpose The answer is but on the surface: Live the life that you shall lead And with God in mind you shall succeed
