Life's Purpose

Life’s Purpose

What is my purpose?
I am here on this mighty earth
Living my journey.
There is a routine from day to day,
But something is missing.
No matter what I do,
There is always something more
I should be doing, but a mystery...
Searching for what has not been discovered.
The life I lead is not the life of my destiny.
My soul searches, but feels lost at times.
Where will this lead, these thoughts of mine?
When will I know that what I’ve discovered
Is what I’ve been looking for?
When will the restlessness of my being
Bring me satisfaction, peace & contentment?
So many plans, so many dreams....
Marvelous adventures yet to experience.
These are my yearnings as I follow my daily routine
Again I ask myself, what is my purpose?

Thank you for your feedback Kevin! Sometimes the biggest challenge is to move forward and not get stuck in the past, to begin dreaming about future plans and to make them a reality xo
