Wish

Wish
My wish is not to be a wife,
Is not to live a life without strife,
It’s not to avoid life’s evil knife.
But my wish is to fulfill
My purpose in life,
That’s what I want
To get right.

With God's guidance, we all fulfill our purposes in life. This is very well stated, Marie. There are so many times I pray that God will let me know what my purpose is. Like you, I "want to get it right." Love, Carolyn

It is what it is. I am human, the good and the bad. We each find our own way to govern the two. My son just gave me a book, "The Purpose Drivin Life" today. They say their are no coincondencences. Thank you Marie. Kind Regards, Audra
