Why are we born and the reason for our life on earth is a question frequently asked in many circles of our society. While the reason for our existence is an enigma, it is widely believed that we are here to fulfill a particular, predestined purpose.

“Why am I here on Earth,”

        asked a friend,

A question I’ve heard

        many times before,

To which I answered

        as well as I could:

“There might be a reason,

         but we’ll never know,

“But tell me, besides

          the living you make,

“Have you any interest,

           like a good deed you do?”

“I have,” he replied.

            I help a good cause –

“A cause that I find

              to be worthy and true.”

“Say no more,” my friend,

              you’ve answered your question,

“The cause you embrace

               is simple and clear:

 ”This might be the reason

               why you’re here!

 

                

               

        

               

 A question I have heard many times before,

To which I answered as well as I could:

“There might be a reason that we’ll never know,

“But tell me, besides the living you make,

Have you any interest, like a good deed you do?”

“I have,” he replied. “I’m helping a cause –

A cause that I find to be worthy and true:

I donate my time in a hospital where

Children are sadly sick and in need.”

“Say no more,”
