My Search

A Poem by Sam Freeland
"

for meaning

"

 

At the side of the road

where we have hurried along

there were so many others

singing their song

 

Being too busy to listen

so involved in our quest

not aware we were missing

how life treated the rest

 

In a life that is full

with no reason to worry

there is nothing that's dull

but why such a hurry?

 

To start each day

with an elaborate plan

was always the goal

since my life began

 

A plan gives us hope

that success will be ours

so we are able to cope

for many long hours

 

The road we travel

is a familiar sight

it leads to our future

and a life that is right

 

By doing our best

to make the trip good

at the end we can rest

it will be time we should

 

Looking more carefully now

to the side of the road

we see wonders we've passed

by being too bold

 

I can now understand

a little bit more

about what we call life

and what it was for

 

Search for meaning in life

is important to me

it strengthens my hope

and helps set me free

 

Looking down the road

I now see where its going

though I still carry my load

I am noticeably slowing

 

The meaning was there

all during my trip

life is really about giving

doing our best and not slip
