Life - What do ye hold for me?
As I take a walk through the sands of time,And my mind sweeps past my life thus far,
I often think, what is it that I have done,
Was this what I wanted to do?
Was this what I was meant to do?
Then, As I ponder through the realms of future,
And my thoughts fly into what is yet to be,What is it that I've got to do,
Will it be what I want to do?
Will it be what I will really do?
What is this life if it goes past me,
And I don't do what I am meant to do
I don't even do what I want to do
And I just do where life takes me ...
Is this what I am supposed to do?
Did God give me this great vast life
For me to just wander along a preset lifeline,
Did God give me this ability to think
For me to just wonder about why he gave all this to me?
Is this what I am meant to do?
I have enjoyed seeing beautiful things around me,
Hearing sweet voices, beautiful verses, soulful melodies and music,
Feeling the touch of warm wool, soft cotton, a newly born,
Tasting lovely food and drink,
Enjoying the smell of the first rain on mud & flowery fragrances
Isn't this what I was meant to enjoy?
Life - you've given me knowledge,
You've given me the power to reason,
You've given me a whole lifetime,
And, now, I am trying to think,
What is it that I should do with all this you've given me?
There is just one thing I don't have - A goalpost to reach,
The moment I reach one, I yearn to conquer another,
It's probably the journey you want me to enjoy,
That is what I have enjoyed thus far,
Is this what I am meant to do - forever?
Discovering what I should do,
What I am meant to do,
And then doing it,
Would in itself cost me a lifetime, I think,
Life - What do ye hold for me?
