Why am I here? <br /> <br />Is it for gaining <br />a continual attaining? <br /> <br />Getting more, bigger and better <br />looking good, a tighter sweater? <br /> <br />Why am I here? Is it a game? <br />Why is she perfect, <br />and I am so lame? <br /> <br />Why is it unfair, the playing field is tilted! <br />Why is my house small, yours big and stilted? <br /> <br />Why does he look free and you're in chains? <br />Why is she dying, hurting, and full of pains? <br /> <br />Is it possible that you are here, not for stuff? <br />Here, perfectly located, where it is tough? <br /> <br />Perhaps it is all about lessons to learn, <br />Nothing to do with what each now earns. <br /> <br />The key to 'winning' your game is this: <br />Each situation can lead to your own bliss <br />IF... <br />You ask the right questions when things go bump, <br />'where is my lesson in this situation? ' <br />What do I cling to, what do I dump? <br /> <br />All situations, places, people and stories <br />have hidden pearls to offer, after the gory <br /> <br />Once must ask the questions that benefit, <br />What can be learned here? <br />Is he or I full of $#! ? <br />What can I forgive, and completely let go? <br />What is funny here, in spite of 6 feet of snow? <br /> <br />What will I henceforth forever avoid? <br />What is of lasting value, not completely devoid? <br /> <br />Why we are here is not to collect, <br />We perhaps are here not to neglect <br /> <br />We are here in school with ample chances, <br />to let go, forgive, create our own happy dances<br /><br />LifeZENtirety LUV<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/why-are-we-here-a-collecting-game/
