The Meaning of Life
What is life? A question deep,
One we ask, yet none can keep.
Each heart speaks with different voice,
Yet none can claim the only choice.
Life has meaning, this we know,
But truth is lost in time’s swift flow.
Our days are numbered, short or long,
Some will stay, while some are gone.
As children, life was pure and bright,
With laughter ringing in the light.
We played, we ran, we knew no fear,
The world was kind, the path was clear.
But time moves on, and days grow cold,
The joy we knew feels tired, old.
Society shifts, the world’s not same,
And happiness fades into a name.
Friends grow distant, paths divide,
The world now looks with judging eyes.
Not for the child we used to be,
But for the mask that they now see.
So what is life? No one can say,
For meaning changes, day by day.
Yet still we walk, through dark and bright,
To seek our truth, to find our light.
