The Meaning of Life
 
Are we aware or conscious of our life
The present the past and the future?
Does anyone know why we are here?
Did we come to work or to shed a tear?
 
What mission do we have to fulfill?
Are we here to learn a new skill?
Do we know all that’s visible,
The surroundings and the invisible?
 
The atmosphere is full of various life,
With many theories the world is rife
We are immersed in our thought and feeling
Many do not know where to look for healing
 
Certain feelings can make us suffer,
Others make us strong and tougher
There are feelings making us gracious
Others make us miserable or generous
 
Feelings can entirely change our belief
Others bring us unexpected relief
Take us from one to the another extreme
Make us plunge into the world of dream
 
There are millions of different feelings
Some make us sick, other bring us healing
Feelings create different states in our soul
And influence the love we can bring to all
 
Are we conscious of our feelings’ beauty
Which reminds us about our sacred duty,
Surpasses our best dream and imagination
And strengthens our feelings as a Nation?
 
We cannot let our feelings run wild
But rather find the naiveté of a child
We have to unite them in ourselves
As deep into oneself a person delves
 
The feelings we have are a precious gift
That can make us happy, give us a lift
I love my life and the feeling it brings,
The sense and the meaning of life it sings.
