To What Good Purpose

 

To what good purpose should I endure this strife?

To what shall be the end and the meaning of this simple life?

Should not all my days have meaning?

So pray tell why I should keep dreaming

 

For I see a world consumed in the position of self-

Starving are the nations, hungry are the barons of wealth.

So to what good purpose is it?  

I one who sees a world in such discord

To what good purpose is it that I –

With rose colored glasses seemingly survives.

 

Never quit loving…never quit giving…better still…never quit believing.

Please visit my new blog…if your life has been affected by cancer in anyway, I want to hear your story. I will be taking 50 stories of the heart and put them into a new book called Cancer and its effects on those left behind. Each accepted contributor will receive a copy of the book with an introductory write-up and photo if so desired. This is not about money since the majority of proceeds after cost will go the benefit Hospice.

 

For to what good purpose is it that we shall be?
