Why We’re Here

By G. E. Shuman

Poetry, romance, music, dance,
Feeling, seeing, tasting chance,
Hurt and help, ill health and fear,
Love and life are why we’re here.

Others, seekers, soulful eyes,
Frightened, fearful, pleading sighs,
Weeping mourning ones to cheer,
Love and life are why we’re here.

Hungry bodies, hungry hearts,
Empty days, lonely starts,
Saddened spirits, rushing tears,
Love and life are why we’re here.

Shipwrecked lives that beg a chance
For poetry, romance, music, dance.
Lift them, ease them, calm their fear,
Love and life are why we’re here.

Mirror Him, who loves the lost,
Help a neighbor, forget cost,
Days so short, end so near,
Love and life are why we’re here.
