The Purpose of Life

In this life on planet earth
given our alloted seventy years here
anymore is considered a bonus
though our purpose is not always clear

we need to recognise that our life
here in this world is no mistake
the creator made everything in place
doing all His wonders even the earthquake

So each of us has a part
to play in God's sovereign rule
designed specially to be used
by the designer as His crafted tool

So never give up in yourself
for you've specially been chosen
to walk along your certain path
whether in summer warm or winter frozen

Trust and believe in your divine controller
who knows your beginning and end
and everything else in between
for He's your one true friend

So walk on led by the Lord
follow His divine prescription
take HIs word in tablet form
signing up for eternal conscription

Very nice! I wrote one like this also. I think it's called "The Meaning of Life?" I might be wrong?
