What Is Life [Poem]

Life is a journey, not a destination
Filled with a lot of questions like an examination
Life is a race and when you are born, the whistle blew
The only question now is, where are you running to?
Some people run after things that cannot be caught
Some people try to buy things that cannot be bought
Some run after power or position
While others run after love or recognition
So many things that people run after
But don’t become a slave or it will be your master
Like how some live to work whereas others work to live
So many people want to receive but not many want to give
And some live in the moment, others live in the past
But the future is coming pretty fast
And some would say life’s all about family, happiness, and friends
But do you know where you go when your story ends
My brothers and sisters you are so much more
You are more than the challenges you face
You are more than the things you chase
You are more than the situations that come your way
You are more than the words that other people say
You are bigger than your mistakes if you only knew
You are bigger than all these things you have been through
There is more to life than what you see
There is so much more to life that you and I could be
See, that’s why I have a different definition
Because I like to see things with spiritual intuition
So, I’m chasing things that last, not the things that come to pass
I’m focused on a future amongst a heavenly class
And If life is a test, my only option is to pass
But I have a lot of questions and so I ask
Who am I and why was I made?
God made me realize a price was paid
And this price was paid for you and for me
I never knew that I was blind until the day that I could see
Cause I heard about the one called Jesus
And how he bled and died and rose again and came to save us
And free us from sin and reconcile us to him
So now I win cause I’m born again in his kingdom with freedom
Peace, Salvation, Grace, Eternal Life and so much more
That’s why Jesus is the one I live for
And so, I pray we all recognize what is at stake
Because the day will come when we all have a choice to make
I pray we choose life, I pray we choose Jesus Christ
So, we can celebrate together in eternal life.
