20th August 2023 - Why are we here Poetry Contest - Sponsored by: Unseeking Seeker

Is planet earth heaven’s waiting room Are we flowers awaiting to bloom If we are here meant to love divine Why the wreak of devil serpentine. Answers to questions are elusive Are we put here to create music To write poetry to leave behind Or paint pictures from artistic mind. Why is there moon and stars in the sky Why does time so quickly pass us by Are other humans out there somewhere Can someone complete the questionnaire. I guess we’ll never find reasons why We are here in the world you and I Though whilst we’re here we must do our best To relish life for it’s God bequest.

I believe we're here to love one another and do God's will. It's not such a mystery, but I understand the search. Nice poem Belle

You’re quite right Tom, we are here because of love and to give and receive love. If only all the people in the world felt the same, no one would hang their head in shame… Thank you, Belle
