Wonder
While I wander through this life,
And learn all I can learn,
The lessons I have faced this day,
Leave my soul to yearn,
What meaning does this life have,
What plans are there for
me?
Do I have a part in this,
Like river mount or tree?
Is this life meant to sling us far,
To our immortal tress,
Or is this life meant to bind us all,
Into happiness?
What meaning does the heart include,
In this great plan
divine?
What is my part, when is my day,
When am my love to find?
Or is this life intended,
To bring my love to pass,
To share it with all those in need,
As they wander past?
With hurt and pain, war and gain,
Being the only way
So many know of this life’s meaning,
Surely brings us shame.
This life is meant to shape us,
Into what we soon shall be,
Eternal beings living same as,
We here wish to be.
Without the anger strife and fear,
That this life has to
offer,
How can we be sure to survive it here,
Without the need to suffer?
We can’t, we can’t, avoid these things,
It’s life’s lesson
to crawl,
And progressing past the stars we see,
Potential lies in all.
