THE PURPOSE OF MY BIRTH

Oh! God, You have given me a wonderful brain to think deep

Two incomparable eyes to behold, peep and weep

Two flexible arms to reap the natural and spiritual harvest

And at night you miraculously provide me refreshing rest

Two agile legs to briskly walk and to run on the track

A twisting and twirling tongue to sweetly talk

The two sensitive ears to listen to nature’s beautiful verse

and enjoy the rhyme and rhythm of this infinite universe

A mesmerizing nose to instantly smell

Two charming lips to yell and tell

The soft skin to feel pleasure and pain

and make my life really a gain

but You haven’t given  me the wisdom to know the purpose of my birth

on this gigantic rotating and fleeting earth

You will never let me know what happens to me after death

A beautiful piece JVL, I think we are here to love and perhaps some things are better left unknown. If we did not wonder and ponder about our existence what a boring life this would be. I think your God knows you need this sense of wonder to survive happily.

Well done!
Keep up the good work.
