I posted another poem this week similar to this one for a different challenge, but the originial one (this one) was incorrectly done for that other challenge, so I'm using this one (in it's orginal form) for "life's meaning" contest! In case you think you are reading the same poem again, at least 7 or 8 lines have been changed. If anyone has read the other rhymed poem, please let me know which version you prefer!

_________________________________________________________________________

Some say we are but bodies with a brain and that the heart (when it can beat no more) will have an end; I see no reason for this way to think when answers seem so plain. There’s meaning to our lives and what we are! All nature is the proof. There is rebirth abounding all around us on this earth! Look heavenward! Truth glitters in each star. As surely as we always see the dawn when we awaken, I know truth is THIS: God wants our growth so we can taste of bliss, and this we’ll do - for souls go on and on! 5/28/2019 for Chantelle Anne Cooke's the Meaning of Life Contest

I like your enclosed rhyme, and how you used the notion that knowing there is a dawn coming tomorrow is akin to knowing that death does not spell the end of our soul. Great faith write, Andrea!

"God wants our growth so we can taste of bliss". I wish I could say it as distinctly as you did, Andrea, but my words fail me(
