The Meaning Of Life And Everything.

As I look through life towards deaths dark veil.

I hope for the light of life to prevail.

The light of hope we all must see.

The hope for all humanity.

There must be hope or else we die.

Not ever knowing the reason why.

We go and labour every day.

To earn the money so to pay.

For the food we eat and life sustain.

Then back to work full circle again.

The meaning of life is within the beholder.

Not without where life is colder.

So look within to the goodness there.

And if you find enough to share.

Then that’s the time to look outside.

And give yourself to those that hide.

Behind the mask of false ideal.

Afraid to show just how they feel.

For meeting you can show them why.

With a little love we can all get by.

Thank you Daz, that's really good. ck-smile

I like the way you've phrased this verse. It gets the message across so well in these few lines, the feeling and meaning of what you're expressing here.

The meaning of life is within the beholder.
Not without where life is colder.
So look within to the goodness there.
And if you find enough to share.
Then that’s the time to look outside.
And give yourself to those that hide.
Behind the mask of false ideal.
Afraid to show just how they feel.

It's wonderful,
