What Is Life? Poem by Janice Walkden

What is life?
Why are we here?
To look at death
with worry and fear?
No life is for living
We are here to grow
Helping others
Whether ‘friend’ or ‘foe’
Learning to love
and all that love means
Living this life...and
Sharing our dreams
Learning to care
Whatever the cost
Learning to share
When ourselves we feel lost
Reaching out to others
We will finally find
We weren’t lost at all
It was all in our mind
