How many souls 
Have come and gone 
Before me? 

How many had 
The same questions? 
How many 
Found the answers? 

And if they found them, 
Then why does my soul 
Long for the reasons 
For their deaths, 
For their lives, 
The reasons for mine. 

And if I should find them, 
Will I have the wisdom 
To know them as answers, 
Or will I lack the understanding, 
And see them as questions.

It s a really nice written poem, you see that the only reason we have in this world is to earn our salvation, it s to see good deeds and make our God pleased, this life is only a test and before our time finish we have to pass it, think of it as a school test, you have a limited time, you might have to work hard before passing it and have to complete it on time, if you mange to then the gardens of heaven are waiting for you, if not then you shall be punish, which is hell, good luck
