“I am an unfinished song that the wind guides through the night – heard but not seen. My words are heard. My thoughts are my own. The body, which encases me, the light sees. The actual being that I am, the light does not see. My purpose in life is to search; search for something greater than what I already know. As I soar through the air, the wisdom that I acquire, with every breath I take, keeps me confident in my quest. Every word added to my ballad strengthens me. Once I am complete, will I know? Though my song seems infinite in length, I have faith that when I am complete, I will know.
I believe that I am led blindly through life, though my eyes may be open. I am led by faith, but not unaccompanied; the blind leading the blind seeking the unknown. The seeds that we plant together are far greater than those we plant alone. Without being loved and having someone to love, life seems trivial. Love is a life support. Without love, I might as well be dead. Without love, I will never be complete and sing my song to the heavens.
These years only go by once. There are no second takes if I mess up. I can’t rewind my song, and rewrite the words. I must not fret about the past since I can’t change it. However, I can be a better person in the future and make my next verse better than the preceding.
Here on Earth, I have questions; in Heaven, there are answers. Obtaining knowledge throughout my life will prepare me for the answers I will be given. I need to be able to comprehend the wonders in store for me. In closing, my purpose in life is to strive for knowledge about the unknown in my future. With love as my life support, and others accompanying me on my journey, my purpose will be fulfilled and my song will be complete.”
