The Meaning Of Life Poem by James Casey

The Meaning Of Life

All have searched for the meaning of life
I believe the answer is inside us all

It is the things that pass by us everyday
Things we overlook in our rush to go our way.

It's the smile on someone's face
Slowing down to a better pace

The lullaby when we drifted off to sleep
The sunrise of a new day that can make me weep

The look of love in a person's eyes.
A look that always is such a surprise

The smell of a flower opening with dew
How precious it is, like the aroma of you

The touch from someone special, laughter from a child
The tears of someone in pain, the sound of a hounds soulful howl

The meaning of life is what we make it
It will lead us where we take it

The effort we exert to make someone's day
Will help us more than they can repay

Only fools flaunt and braggadocio boast
It's best we show love when others need it most.

Make the most of each new day, and smile at the rising sun
Let all know how much you care, in meaning of life, you've won
