Why Are We Here

WHY ARE WE HERE

Can we ever learn from our past lives
It’s somewhat like a spiritual evolution
But hidden, however hard one strives
It sometimes leads to much confusion

An answer from a Buddhist Priest I met
His patient smile was so easy to detect
The course of one’s life is never preset
When I asked him if we could connect

Why would one want to, he replied
And that gave me pause for thought
However hard we may have tried
Our next identities cannot be bought

The reason each of us are here it seems
Is to try our hardest to fulfil our dreams
