What is Your Life's Goal

What Is Your Life’s Goal?
Kevin Davis 2024

Is your goal to gather wealth,
Or build a palace of your own?
To live each day in perfect health,
Or find delight in the unknown?

Do you long to travel far,
Or see the beauty at your door?
To hold small wonders where you are,
Or dance with joy on every floor?

For all of us, the dreams we chase
Can make our lives both bright and great.
We share them in a warm embrace,
Giving life meaning in every state.

So ask yourself what you desire—
Find quiet greatness in what you see.
Look deep within, let soul inspire,
And strive each day to live life free.

May all your days be kind and blessed,
With love and laughter hand in hand.
So others know, as you’ve confessed,
A happy life, both full and grand.
