A Reason To Be Poem by Arthor Journer

The shores are gently or violently massaged by the sea
That in itself gives it purpose…. a reason to be
Tall trees with wide branches origins in a tiny seed
Just that gives it purpose…. a reason to be
There are things that are beyond my comprehension can’t understand
Yet I know there is a divine reason why I am
Can’t detail why so many events have occurred or failed
Why the train of my life is on track or sometimes seemingly derailed
Why friends have come in love and sometimes gone
Why surrounded by happiness and joy yet other times alone
But the words said and things that I see
That in itself gives me purpose…a reason to be
The clouds offer their life giving moisture free
That in itself gives it purpose…. a reason to be
Sun warms the earth causing the onslaught of cold to flee
Just that gives it purpose….a reason to be
Sometimes I can map out rhyme or sound reason
Yet I know that it was meant for me to be in this season
Although still can’t form a theorem why things go the way they do
Why relationships are molded while others are doomed to be through
Why my silos are overflowing or sometimes barren and empty
But do know that there is a purpose…a reason to be
The things that were done and in and through me
That in itself gives my purpose… a reason to be
