Why We Exist Poem by Randy McClave

We all were put here on Earth for a special reason
Not just to worship and to be good for just one season,
To God and to the universe I will ask the reason, 'why'
Is it for us to be remembered and celebrated when we die.
We all were born as sinful and petty little creatures
Then we are given the word by both angels and teachers,
With temptations placed in front of us every single day
Do we not learn and accept, or do we just lie and betray.
When we see the poor and the needy do we want to help
Or do we just ignore them as though they are a little whelp,
God created animals, but he didn't want another pet
So, he created man, to choose and to show joy or regret.
