Life ( String of Tanka)
Live for a reason
Discover your life's purpose
Bring meaning to life
You do not merely exist
You're part of His grand design
Your life is precious
Every beating of your heart
Every breath you take
Is a gift, a testament
Of His steadfast love for you
Don't give in to pain
Don't fall to life's trickery
Some are illusions
That keep you from finding
Your purpose for living
Life is not perfect
It's not a bed of roses
Of your dreams and fantasies
It is full of thorns that draws
Your blood your sweat and your tears
But it's beautiful
When life is full of meaning
When you can embrace
Its many facets and shades
And take everything it gives
Discover your life's purpose
Bring meaning to life
You do not merely exist
You're part of His grand design
Your life is precious
Every beating of your heart
Every breath you take
Is a gift, a testament
Of His steadfast love for you
Don't give in to pain
Don't fall to life's trickery
Some are illusions
That keep you from finding
Your purpose for living
Life is not perfect
It's not a bed of roses
Of your dreams and fantasies
It is full of thorns that draws
Your blood your sweat and your tears
But it's beautiful
When life is full of meaning
When you can embrace
Its many facets and shades
And take everything it gives

Truly, we live for some purpose and it is through living in a meaningful way that we realise the purpose of life.
