A poem about the purpose of life.

Life without anything

would be meaningless

B U T

There is a reason and a purpose

for everything we have

Life is so worth living

Every time we take a breath

Every time we move

As we rise in the morning

We can celebrate the life that

that has been so freely given

Our lives are so precious

and must not be taken for granted

We were placed upon this earth

and sometimes we may not

understand why

But everywhere we look

we can see the beauty

that each new day brings

The glory of creation

applauds the work of God

For his handiwork is everywhere

in the sun, the sky, the stars

the butterfly, the firefly

the waves, the sea, the air

The eagle as he soars

so gracefully

the bluebird as he sings

so sweetly

the flowers that bloom

in my backyard

Image via Wikipedia

and all of the produce

in my garden

The birth of each of my grandchildren

the wonder of a loving husband

How can I not believe

that a loving God created these

pleasures for my enjoyment?

There is a reason and a purpose

for all of life

All of creation applauds it

and so do I
