Quest

Is there a point in life when you figure
what it is that you want to be?
Is it desire and "get-up-and-go" or
are we governed by fate and destiny?

Do we ever figure out our purpose
the reason, if any, why we're here?
How do you know who you're supposed to love,
one or many? The choice isn't too clear.

Do we make things happen
or do they happen despite what we do?
Evolution seems logical to some but faith,
faith is the thing that pulls you through.

Have faith you'll know the answers
when the time comes for you to know
life is a gift like a puzzle
of what to do and where to go
for the ultimate reason we are here
I believe it is to find happiness inside
many search the meaning but won't know
if they keep science as their guide.

The quest for purpose is such a thing
neither blueprinted and mapped
nor analyzed by scientists and mathematicians
the only gift that cannot be wrapped.

To be truly happy is our purpose
it's why we all exist
keep only your faith tightly
throughout your quest for happiness
and you will find it.
