Shirley Hawkins Poet Rhyme

Who and Why Are We

Who and Why are we?
What is our purpose?
Did I agree
To join this animal circus,

I, me, us, all animals for sure
Why did we need to be here?
What was there before?

God is the creator
Of everything on Earth
He is also the dictator
From the time of birth.

What was the Holy Spirit's plan,
From the heavens above
Why did he need to breathe life into a man?
Was it to share his eternal love?

Nature is impressive all started from seed,
Did God have plans to supply,
Everything to suit a human being's needs?
Before he gave birth,
To all that now live and breathe,
On this wondrous, God-given Earth.

Until we walk our last steps alone
The mystery of life will remain unknown
Who am I, and why are we
We will understand,
When we're set free.

L Milton Hankins August 28, 2022 at 9:05 PM All I can do, Shirley, is to remind you that in terms of the cosmos, we human beings are smaller than an amoeba. We must find God within us. Shirley Hawkins August 28, 2022 at 10:58 PM I think that is very true, Milton.
