Thy Purpose

Katherine Rodgers

I sometimes sit and wonder
What thy purpose is for me
Where exactly is it
That you want me to be?
I know that my life
Has a special plan
I know we sat together
I know you held my hand
You came down to earth
On that special day
And all through your life
You showed me the way
You were not judge mental
You offered the same to all
I know your stand beside us
Hoping we won’t fall
