Why Are You Here?

Rating: 4.7


How long could you keep others interested,
Discussing, hobbies, personal things you do,
Not those once a year, experiences,
The things you create, build, work on,
With your spare time, even it only entertains you,
Not about where you work, or watching actors work In movies, or on tv, it's about your special talents,
The reasons, purpose, you were put in this life,
Finding, what you are here to do.
Each of us, are here to explore, release, our talents,
Part of the original plan, it's never too late to start,
Anything is better, than going back, after we die,
With an empty log book, in your hand.

A deeply thoughtful poem yes I agree " Anything is better, than going back, after we die, With an empty log book, in your hand." Very wise words.

'Anything is better, than going back, after we die, With an empty log book, in your hand.' - True, it makes sense to me.
