What is life
by Richard Maxfield
6-13-99

Many times, I set and wonder
the meaning of life, I ponder
what is life, all about
at times I think, I will run and shout
why am I here, what is my job
why do others, kill and rob
is there more life, way far in space
what is this thing, called the human race
how far have we come, how much do we know
is love so real, or just for show
if life is so good, and we are meant to share
sometimes it hurts so, with all despair
then I remember, when my child was born
one look in his face and my sole was torn
to see him grow and become a man
that is life, what a plan
 I held my daughter, in my arms
keeping her safe, from all harm
the door bell rings, for her first date
bring her home safe, and dont be late
these are the things, that life is about
life is worth living, there is no doubt
