Purpose

Said a sheet of snow-white paper, "Pure was I created, and pure will I remain forever.  I would rather be burnt and turn to white ashes than suffer darkness to touch me or the unclean to come near me." ~ Khalil Gibran

What is my purpose

am I here just for me

doing those things

that ensure purity

Staying untouched

as I take care for the needs

of people around me

who suffer from poverty

Yet I still feel so empty

somethings not quite right

I've given and given

but don't see the light

I refuse what they offer

I must turn them down

and it's breaking my heart

when their smile turns to frown

All of my life

I've thought giving was best

and helping out others

I'd be totally blessed

But wait I think I see

my purpose is not just for me

not only to give and care for others

but also to receive and truly be brothers

Ah now there's that filling

my heart now can soar

we're sharing nothing but smiles

between me and these poor

We must do our part in the lives of others and let others do their part in our lives to accomplish our purpose in life.
