MEANING OF LIFE
What is the meaning of life
Is it to exist and persist
Is it to be and see
What's for you and me
A supreme beings test
To compare to the rest
upon our arrival
A test for survival
If once alive
Can we survive
Problems to endure
A test for sure
To rate our worth
For the planet Earth
Or is the meaning of life
Some quirk or chance
Perhaps we can enhance
Our species advance
With the deeds we sow
As our time does go
The meaning of life
We question why
We live and die
And questing we try
Is it love we give
In order to live
Or is hate our fate
In a future date
Where life created
Is no more related

Poetry: Meaning of life
by Brian Benson
WHEN I WAS A LITTLE BOY.....I GREW UP FAST
When I was a little boy
We played from dawn til dark
Chasing baseballs hit aloft
In
The meaning of Life I ponder
How can good conquer evil? I often wonder
To make a difference I must
By showing of love and
your dragonfly
the beautiful nuisance
I dreamed myself to be
has stayed too long
passed waking
to be of worth to anyone
who resides
Life is a Mirrage
I hear your whispers
I feel your kisses
But it all seems like a dream
With every moment passing
And every secret
A questioned pondered by many, understood by a few
Our purpose, meaning, reason for being,
What were we created to do?
