Purpose of Life Does our life have purpose, If it does, what can it be? I cannot find instructions, On the way that’s meant for me. I spent my early childhood, Just in trying to fit in. Learning what is right and wrong, What’s good and what is sin. When living through my teenage years, My mind began the quest. To find out what was really me, I was not like the rest. My life was full of turmoil, In my search to find my role. I struggled each and every day, To satisfy my soul. A few more years, it seemed an age, I lost my urge to scream. I was living for the future, When I could fulfil my dream. But now some dreams are memories, For the years have travelled by. I’ve enjoyed life’s precious moments, Although some have made me cry. I’ve loved and lost and tumbled, But I’ve rose and lived again. I’ve had heartache, pain and suffering, But I’ve learned to play the game. But the one unanswered question, That is still within my mind. Is the thing I’ve never understood, The thing I failed to find. I know a bloke who thinks he knows, And lives his life by rules. But what if he has got it wrong, Persuaded just by fools? The reason for our earthly life, Is still evading me. Maybe I’ll know the answer, When death sets my body free. But I’ll have to make my mind up, Before it gets too late. Before I meet my maker, If that is to be my fate. I know now….. I’ve decided, What my life was meant to be. God gave me independence, So the choice is up to me! Ivor G Davies The moment created this second, is a moment that's going to last. |

Well, m'dear philosopher, I do believe that one of your purposes in life is to share your worthy thoughts with others through your fine poetry! Like yourself, I have explored many branches on my proverbial Tree of Life, but it wasn't until a few years ago that I was able to identify what the tree was!  Now the real journey begins!I always enjoy reading your poetic works! Loves 'n hugs, EA |

Ivor, Yes the rest is up to you. If it helps I'll say the only rule I found that helped me is the golden one. Do unto others as you have done unto yourself. |

EA, Thanks for the response, I'll make my next post my 'Tree of Life' to see if it is the same tree as yours! Problem is the branches keep breaking as I am climbing, maybe I'm on the wrong diet..... Seymour, I have written quite a lot of this style of poetry, enough to get boring in my view, but the one theme I hold true is the one you have responded with! My first principle in life is 'personal responsibility' and I think maybe even a few of the posts I have left here might have given a clue to that. My over riding theme is and always will be 'Have Fun'..... but not at the expense of others! Thanks again both of you for your kind words, Have Fun, Ivor The moment created this second, is a moment that's going to last. |

Quotes and poetry's all Fairplay I've known him long, it's just that way He'll take the the time to read your verse and play it usually in reverse. But if you listen to what he says You'll find there are meaning in several ways His wisdom may seem turned about but he'll find a meaning that you missed out Quotes and poetry's all Fairplay So read between my lines today and if you do not understand I'm sure Fairplay will lend a hand! |
