The Purpose In Life

This seems the question I ponder the most Forgetting my manners and neglecting the host I’m not really sure if this was all about me Walking with sight yet I still couldn’t see. When something is asked of me I try to respond Perhaps sometimes I’ve taken much too long I read the first chapter then take the first step I’m not really certain of what I shall get. I come to realize that this is not about me I look at the beauty that God’s brought to me The purpose of life is not at your command The purpose lies beyond what we understand. Purpose seems like it could be a utility word Maybe just repeating something you once heard But perhaps it can be much more than what we think It could all disappear in the time it takes to blink. So I pick up my pieces and try to go home But it lies outside of my comfort zone Life without purpose holds no meaning at all As the bridges crumble and the castles fall.
