Chosen To Live Poem by Rik Bertrand

What is this all about? Why do I feel this way?
I am amazed at life and the gifts it supplies me.
I sometimes don't understand why I am chosen,
Why I have been given repeated chances in life.

There have many occasions where I have seen the light.
I have drifted towards the peace and tranquility of forever,
Just to return to a more bright and wondrous life.
I Love living and I thank god above for the realization.

I ponder, yes I said it, I ponder my life's purpose,
my reason for existing, in this time of turmoil.
I can only say that I am needed, I have been chosen.
I am a tool in god's plan; I am a messenger of his love.

I love my family, I love my friends, and I love peaceful thoughts.
I love the rain, the mist, and the sun as it shines down on creation.
I love the thought of setting the example for all to follow, and being chosen.
I love the fact that I am living when I should be resting in peace.

THANK YOU LORD.
