Purpose

March 26, 2020

Why am I here?

What could I possbly hope to give?

What do I bring?

What is the point of living on this rock?

How do I honor the poeple before me?

The legends who made their mark,

Who preached to the helpless,

Who gave hope to the hopeless,

Who strengthened the weak,

Who took down the tyrants,

Who fought against oppression,

Who spoke of freedom

Who made breakthroughs,

Who made triumphs,

Who made history,

Whose name are still remembered by thousands to this day!

Who will remember me?

Who will I inspire?

Who am I?
