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 oh so 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
They 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
