The True Meaning of Life

In the overall scheme of things What matters most in life It's the love of another human being The total commitment between two hearts That indescribable connection When you recognize that someone is very special Of all the people we rub elbows with During our too short a time on earth One who stands out head and shoulders above the rest One to share our most intimate dreams with Almost as if we two are one When we meet that person The fire between the two of us rages The signs are unmistakable It totally consumes us To the point where nothing else seems important Only the deep love of another soul To know this love Is to know the true meaning of life
