Poem: Life’s Offerings

Share this article:

Is there a finite point in life where we achieve
A level of achievement God would have us see?
Of course, we cannot know that, even thus believe
That life itself is ordained, what will be will be.
How many did you influence along the way?
Perhaps one of those was the finite point we pose;
Direction, misdirection, how are we to say?
There is no way of knowing—no one ever knows!
Another point to ponder: are you satisfied,
That you exceeded expectations in your eyes?
Again, the points too numerous to even guide
You to an answer, even comfortably disguise.
Don’t go away—the reason you are reading this
May be an influence you haven’t had before.
Somehow, there may be something here you dare not miss.
So, sit back, think of it! Life always offers more!
