Why Are We Here

I have died by sword, by pox;
in my dotage years, at birth;
interred in many a box.
I eternal roam this earth
in one form or another;
I will forever be a
child of another mother.
With this soul, I play, replay;
constant will until I find
that for which all men do search;
inner calm and peace of mind.

We are all on an eternal quest after peace and happiness. Until we get it, we take birth several times ( though I don't agree) However, we won't be at rest until we find that internal calm ! Let us be here to make our life and the life of others beautiful ! Great thoughts Terry !
