The Meaning Of Life By Nathan Stelly



In the vast expanse of time and space,
A question lingers, seeking its place.
What is the meaning of this existence?
A riddle that defies our persistence.

Some seek answers in the realms divine,
Believing in gods, their purpose align.
They find solace in faith and devotion,
Guided by a higher power's notion.

Others turn to science, seeking proof,
Exploring the universe, from roof to roof.
They unravel mysteries, piece by piece,
Seeking knowledge, their hunger won't cease.

But amidst the chaos and the strife,
The meaning of life is found in life.
In moments of joy and love so pure,
In connections made, that will endure.

It lies in the laughter of a child,
In the embrace of a loved one, mild.
In the beauty of nature, so grand,
In the touch of a helping hand.

The meaning of life is not a grand scheme,
But rather, it's found in the simplest theme.
To live fully, with purpose and grace,
To leave a mark, in this fleeting space.

So let us cherish each passing day,
Embrace the journey, come what may.
For in the end, when all is said and done,
The meaning of life is to live as one.
