               Why does a man live
           For what reason does he die
               Something inside me yearned to know
           I felt my spirit cry

                What are the secrets of the universe
           or the powers of the mind
                 Questions I could not answer
           to secrets i could not find

                  I meditated  I chanted
           I searched in distant places
                  and found the same confusion
           on many learned faces

                  Some said  its here  or there
            youll find it all within
                  Yet no answer seemed to satisfy
             for they only came from men

                   I returned home disappointed from               fruitless quest
                    Thinking Ill never find the                   answer
                     I believed id tried my best
              But it was there i found the answer
                     for my souls survival

               My answers name is JESUS

                     I found him in my
                                 BIBLE

Welcome. Like to song of Solomn, we search, exhausting all worldly things, then find the answer is only in Jesus. Thanks for sharing .

WELCOME indeed, friend--and what a debut you bring. A search-a failure-true realization-a success!!! Very good indeed. We appreciate this wonderful poem, and hope that you will share more with us as well.
