Why Are We Here

Why are we here, you and I, existing? Mankind searches for Why, but also How; we waste too much of our life resisting-- the fact that the Time for Mercy is NOW! God, our Creator, loves us! (I avow) It behooves us to know, love, and serve God I reject reincarnation as odd God gave us each a soul for Him to love We've one lifetime to find His path to trod Aim higher! To Eternity -- above! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Submitted: Friday, Aug. 11, 2023 Why are we here Poetry Contest Poetry Contest Deadline: Friday, September 8, 2023 Sponsored by: Unseeking Seeker

There's a book -- The Midnight Library -- that explores the idea of reincarnating endlessly into different lives one could have lived (as the same person, but different choices)... and yet she came back to her original life, and chose to give it a go, to appreciate her blessings, to make a difference, etc. That's the lesson we all must reach here, being our one and only self, while seeking God's good plan for us. :)
