The Meaning Of Life |
| by Chuck Pool |
|
One day I met a wise old man Who was sitting in the park And there upon the bench with him We talked ‘till early dark He told me of his travels To a far off distant land Where the secret meaning of our lives Was taught to him first hand I listened to his story Amazed by what he said The simple truth of which he spoke Was knowledge not widespread In great detail he did explain What life was all about And how the answer we do seek We don’t have to be without There was something in his message That I could not reject A wisdom that I understood So simple and direct My life forever has been changed By the words I heard that day A concept old as life itself And by far the one true way An answer to the question why And the reason we exist Solutions I would not now know If my walk that day was missed |
