Pondering a Purpose

Secretly in my heart, I am weary
pondering a purpose from above
even though I know God's love
this life at times has been teary

has my life has been in vain
adrift in this place, we call earth
I have been this way since birth
pondering what keeps me sane

I count all the blessings in life
to most strangers, I always smile
hoping it might stay there awhile
helping others with their strife

so is this my purpose from God
sending a little kindness and love
I look up to that big guy above
if this is his plan I feel flawed

Welcome aboard, Ed. My middle name is Edward. Your poem ponders some good points. I like its honesty in relating a person's feelings in life. I find praises to God is comforting when I need affirmation.
