Your Purpose

We keep looking for a purpose
That makes this all seem worth it
A life that is fulfilling
Pray that God is willing

Spending the time high and low
With life's needle to and fro
As we keep up with our mending
Hoping to sew a happy ending

Some folks find along the way
The truth in what some people say
There is no higher purpose
Than that of serving others

It takes the focus off ones self
And puts it on somebody else
With the filling of several needs
As both sides blessings intercede 

So give to those in need you find
That have received less in this life
You'll find that it's all worth it
As you find this is your purpose
