Purpose

We all need purpose in our life,

It fuels our will to live

And keep on striving every day

With all our strength to give.

Without it we are just a rat

Caught within a cage,

We fight against confining bars

And daily voice our rage

At how it is another's fault

But, never is our own

That we are not successful

And it is quite well known

How they must have cheated

Or, had advantage over us

When the truth is so much simpler

Of how we missed the bus.

It's all about our purpose,

Why we get up every morn

And work to do the things in life

For which we were born.

If you are lacking purpose

Spend some time upon your knees

And God will help you overcome

If you ask Him with a "please."

It may not be the way you think

But, He will fill your heart

With reasons to get up every day

Until this earth you part.

So, rise and then move forward,

Don't sit there till you die

Or, think that you are worthless

For that's the devil's lie.

Live your life with purpose,

Moving forward every day,

Take others on your journey

As you travel on the way

And you'll be filled with joy

Even when there are some tears

As you overcome your failures

And conquer all your fears.

Purpose is the answer,

One of life's great mysteries;

Find reason for your presence here

And The Father, you will please.
