Sometimes I wonder
what my life is worth
And yet I see
the miracle of my birth.
How astounding it is
that I came to be
For that I can thank my deity.

I was generated from one single cell
And grew in my mother, oh so well.
Welcome to the world!
And then I cried.
(We all cry, I'm told)
And my mother sighed.

I was healthy and strong
and fully intact.
What a beautiful start...
except for the whack.
And then...an event..
not a soul could rehearse...
God whispered the secrets
of the universe.

Those words were imprinted
inside of my soul.
Though instantly forgotten,
they made me whole.
I was born to travel
my entire life
Searching for meaning
amidst all the strife.

Then there were times
I knew not what to do
And I'd draw on that voice...
I instinctively knew.
And peace would enfold me
and make my heart still.
By lifting the troubles,
with Love it would fill.

The moments that pass...
they do leave a trace.
If we listen, we journey
to God face to face.
We seek Him, We love Him,
We worship Him, it's true.
But if we don't we are lost...
doomed through and through.

Our days are all numbered
like the hairs on our head,
But they needn't be filled
with misery and dread.
For to journey to Him
is the reason I find
That we're here to begin with...
He had that in mind,

When He made us to love HIm
and each other as well
Life itself is the meaning,
as far as I can tell.
We must learn our own lessons
and do them with love
And surely we'll be graced
with blessings from above.

He is Our Master to love,
honor and obey.
Nothing matters except this.
Believe this, I say.

So no more do I wonder
what my life is worth.
I've discovered its meaning
from my life here on Earth.
There's just one thing to remember
when everything fails
I'm a treasure because my life is worth...

A Crown of Thorns
and
Three Nails
