A meaning to life

I hungrily search for the
meaning of life,like a tour
we walk down different trails
longing to see what our life's
travels were taken for.Useless
at times it may seem,the clock
of our lives just ticking by
slowly.

A destiny that we cannot yet
see, a standing point that
is holding out for just the
right moment to finally in
ourselves live freely,the way
we were meant to be.

We let the forces of our own
minds hold us back,forgetting
life is here to live and enjoy,
we are not meant to sit on a shelf
and watch it slowly go by only
regretting our missed chances when
we are saying our last goodbyes.

One life to live is all we have,
our children only small for a short
time before their own wings they
will one day sprout.We will then
turn back the hands of time and
wish we had not worried about what
others thought right,leaving their
opinions behind.

I hungrily search for the meaning
of life,I cannot turn back the hands
of time but the future is now one I
am no longer afraid to find!I am a
child at heart,a lost soul that has
been found.

When I am saying my last goodbyes
I can truly say I lived my life
to the fullest without any doubts.
My children come first and I come
second,when I am gone I want them
to always remember that together
our lives were always spent thinking
that today was the end to forever.
