A questioned pondered by many, understood by a few
Our purpose, meaning, reason for being,
What were we created to do?
Is our purpose in our final destination, our death?
Do we simply live to die, or for more?
Is our life simply meaningless?
I believe in a higher purpose.
I believe in life there is hope.
I believe we have a reason for being;
Our purpose, reason, and meaning.
What is this purpose we've been looking for?
A focus which to aim our thoughts and actions towards,
A target that will shape our lives and change our words.
Change our words to encourage and build up,
Not to take away someone's confidence
Speaking words of life and of hope
Being a voice for those who have none,
Making a difference for the broken,
and picking up those who are downtrodden.
"The meaning of life?" You ask,
Simply is to love.
To love so much that injustice hurts
To have a love that moves to action

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?
