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
you 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
