Yes, You

Did you know that YOU have a mission
Your birth was the laying of a foundation
   Don't spend your days wishing
Uncover the basis of your creation

   You may be consumed by a money driven society
But be sure to leave a trail
   This way, you will never be lost entirely
When you find it's time to bail

   Did you know that YOU are here for a reason
Yes, YOU!  I'm talking to YOU too
   To squander your talents would be treason
YOU, my friend, have a job to do

   If God had an oversight
You may be off the hook
   But make no mistake, God is always right
There is nothing he will overlook

   It's quite alright if your purpose isn't clear
Everything worth anything takes time
   Get busy and find out why you are here
Discover the reason to your rhyme

We all have a purpose. Whether we ever live up to that purpose or not is another matter. Great message and great rhyme too. A7

What a powerful write, Anne. This is a lofty theme...and true. We need to now what his will is...His good and pleasing will, as it says in the Word. Thanks for your visit to my silly piece. I haven't written a limerick in a while. Hugs

Wonderful Ann, we all do have a purpose, and sometimes I think we go through life searching for it, not knowing He is already using us to His own. ~Jan Thanks for stopping by for Divine....just love.
