The Only Way Life Makes Sense

The Only Way Life Makes Sense Life only makes sense if we can relate it to values which last Think of people who have meant something to you from the past Parents, siblings, friends, teachers Jesus,marriage partners and preachers All their influence on us is vast Remove one person, we would be different Maybe less fortunate if asked Seeking fame and fortune as goals you most cherish Many wealthy and famous sought this Then through suicide or overdose perish God's love for us through Jesus is what makes life make sense Being kind and loving to others even at our own expense Life makes sense if someone might think of us one day Grateful in their life we passed their way Sharing relationships, love, blessings leave lasting impressions To both the giver and receiver more valuable than any possessions

It is kindness and love that do make life worth living, Shirley. It's the people we meet who have these qualities that make us appreciate life more. As you say, it's not money that brings happiness. Beautifully penned! Best wishes, Carolyn

We are all exactly where we are supposed to be to learn the lessons we are here to learn. Our lives do touch others and have a ripple effect that reaches many. A lovely poem Shirley! I agree with your words of wisdom. Aloha, Connie : )
