Find Yourself a Purpose and a Goal

January 11, 2019

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. Since we’re beginning a new year, the theme for this week is new beginnings.

I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com .

A number poem about finding a new purpose for one’s life:

Find yourself a purpose and a goal
Into which you pour your energy,
For there is satisfaction in a role
That makes of life a gift that few may see,
Yet helps sustain the heart’s ecology.

Nor ought your purpose ever be control.
In giving, one relinquishes one’s keys.
No breath can be the wind that moves the whole,
Even as your best may stir the breeze.
