The Meaning of Living

The Meaning of Living

A woman born to be a mother
A loving heart so full of giving
Only find a barren womb
This is the meaning of emptiness.
A man born to achieve the greatest goals
Given the mind and the body to arrive
Struck down by an accident in his prime,
This is the meaning of pain.
A woman meant to serve, content in her simplicity.
Baking bread and cooking are her fondest dreams.
Treated to nothing but the world’s distaste, bitterness, and anger,
This is the meaning of intolerance.
A man glories in his dream of family and home.
Reveling in the unpretentious life of kids and a wife,
To find another man’s ambition was to steal his dream,
This is the meaning of tragedy.
These women and these men dancing in the rain like no one is watching,
The sunshine that graces your heart from their smiles,
Suffering in their silence, never giving into their pains,
This is meaning of living.
