You plough
Through life
At first uncertain
Of the reason,
You learn endeavour
Not sure of purpose
For its season,
Then search
The darkness
With youthful zeal,
For meaning
‘Twould serve
To understand,
By what design
Life holds a measure
Of raison d’être…
Now you’ve gone
Journey beyond,
Inclined you pause,
If you’re to find
A worthy cause,
With or without
Said raison d’être!
