Attempting to pen a poem this night 
Considering the meaning if any of life?  
Starting in fact, from the beginning of time 
So many prophets, scholars, and lines 
In all there were eigthy-nine religions 
On many things did they seem to agree!  
Often the world seen through their eyes 
Wisdom and knowledge, yet so different to me. 
The hereafter and heaven, nirvana and light 
Some even thinking, we're born only to die 
Why are we here? What is life all about?  
Attempting to process, all to do is shout!  
That man has never, defined it and still.... 
Makes it so special....and is God's will 
The meaning deserving, a second look 
My little girl coloring, in her coloring book
