Life's purpose

by Michael D Nalley   Nov 16, 2008


The purpose of life is to give
A chance for us to live
We are the product of laws
The effect, not the cause

To have passion for the cause
Is to avoid human like flaws
And somehow rise above
With the aid of divine love

To know the peace of love
Is to fly high like the dove
Nature will follow its course
Guided by a heavenly force

Proposals do not force
The effect to its source
Every spirit is born free
As eyes were made to see

Yet, some too blind to see
Life is meant for you and me
A chance for us to live
The purpose of life is to give

    I love the ending to this is put everything in its place. The Flow was perfect and the message was great. Not very many people in this world stop to realize why we are here on this earth. we get too caught up in our own worlds whether they be in sorrow or blinded by love or drama.
    i like this very much 5/5

    This poem was amazing. I really liked this one alot. =] and it is so true. The purpose of life is to give. Life is also full of choices but what makes yourself feel better and make others is to give out inspiration or even say a few words back to someone and it makes it alot easier.

    keep it up.
    keep on writing.
    love always and forever.
