Purpose For Living

In this old world of ours with our 70 years normal span we need life and hope to be part of purposed plan There's need for a hoped filled soul looking on to everlasting life having a certain hope ongoing filling your life no matter the strife Have peace in your heart mixed with joyfulness divine keep close to your master then everything will be fine Fill your life with good knowledge read fine poetry always in rhyme enjoy nature and the countryside that's what's called a good time Make sure you have true friends ones that stick through thick anf thin but most important of all that Jesus saves you from your sin

Hi Gordon, It's plain to see that you are a Christian. I became a Christian back in 1974, baptized (in 1976) on Easter Sunday night. I enjoyed your poem. The problem today is that many live for the moment... "here for a good time, not a long time". Sad, but true. I play guitar in the worship team at our church, and I love serving the Lord in this way. We did "AGNUS DEI" today, 1 of 4 songs. I think it's great to share your faith with poetry, and you do such a fine job. All the best!

Hi Gordon, indeed hope. Without hope one is already dead. One can be suffering yet still have the joy of the Lord in his heart and continuously praise and exalt through the darkness in the power of the Holy Spirit which always brings light into the soul. Good write, Edward
