My Question

My question is - What is life all about?

When I was young I thought life was a thrill

but time persists and with it growing doubt.


Decisions made, some good, some not, throughout

my destined fate, my fortune or freewill.

My question is - what is life? All about


me people pray and sing and sin and shout

some fight for freedom, some protest, some kill

time. I persist and with my growing doubt


advance my quest for what I am without.

Yet answers I’ve been given don’t fulfil

my question: Is what Is; Life’s all about


living; Work-hard play-hard; Check-in check-out;

and others say: we’re here to do God’s will.

But time persists. And with this growing doubt


increasing need fades in but won’t fade out.

I know there is a reason and yet still

my question is what? Is life all about

time persisting with my growing doubt?
