Shirley Rebstock Poet Rhyme

The Only Way Life Makes Sense

The Only Way Life Makes Sense

Life only makes sense if we can relate it to values which last
Think of people who have meant something to you from the past

Parents, siblings, friends, teachers 
 Jesus,marriage partners and preachers

All their influence on us is vast
Remove one person, we would be different
Maybe less fortunate if asked

Seeking fame and fortune as goals you most cherish
Many wealthy and famous sought this
Then through suicide or overdose perish

God's love for us through Jesus is what makes life make sense
Being kind and loving to others even at our own expense

Life makes sense if someone might think of us one day
Grateful in their life  we passed their way

Sharing  relationships, love, blessings leave lasting impressions
To both the giver and receiver more valuable than any possessions
