When death the sin collector comes for me <br />What contributions to the devil shall he see? <br />Written there for him to take below: <br />There's no such place, and that I'm sure you know. <br />Consider though the purpose of our lives <br />As our eternal spirit works and thrives <br />Within our brain in life to guide us on <br />Through each experience, if short or long. <br />It is this spirit which despite our doubt <br />Attends each life on Earth to carry out <br />It's task, or on some distant planet yet <br />Unknown within our universe, I'll bet! <br /> <br />Though many lives may be required to gain <br />Our own eternal garland we must train.<br /><br />Eric Bult<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/purpose-59/
