WHO……AND WHY?
Who am I…and why am I here?
To muddle through life year after year…
I was created by God, in all His majestry
What I do and where I go is entirely up to me.
There are certain values in the way I live
And the times I feel most worthwhile, are the times I give.
I will do my tasks and receive my pay
But not in the usual monetary way.
I take pride in this hum-drum life
Simple pride as a mother and wife.
At times when I'm bored…of which there are many
I think of my riches…for they are plenty:
A family of two brothers…a Mom and Dad
The very best family any person has had
Marriage brought more happiness than I'll ever know
Sometimes I think, can this really be real…will it one day go?
I pray not, for I couldn't go on anymore
I'd have no purpose…and nothing to live for.
My life being over one-third gone doesn't bother me
There are still many things to do…places I want to see.
I made a few dents here and there, I suppose…
But I'm sure no one will remember any of those.
I just live each day in the best way I know
I don't expect to be a legend when I go.
Even if I'm forgotten like a lot of the rest
I'll be happy in knowing I tried my best!
I'm a person not hard to please, you see
The simple things in life are the ones for me.
Life is not all glitter and gold…as we are often told
So, it won't be fancy things, but LOVE I'll need…when I am old.
As the years pass by…if it is asked of me: Who and Why?
I'd say: All that I could be was simply me…I gave Life my very best try!
