Life

Meditation on Life
By
Erin Michelle Wilcox



What is the purpose of a man’s life?
Is he meant to live in constant strife?
Or, is there another purpose here?
The answer to this question is clear.
Man is commanded to strive with sin,
That his heart might become clean within.
But that is impossible, you say.
Yes, but by the pow’r of God, he may.
Saved by God, and His wonderful grace,
What e’er the trials a man may face,
He is given power from above
(From our dear Christ and His selfless love),
To battle sin with the sharpest Sword,
That Book of books, the Word of the Lord.
Each day is giv’n that man might prepare
His soul for heaven and its peace there.
But when his body has breath no more,
His soul will then fly to heaven’s door.
And then, forever, his soul will rest
In the arms of Christ, whom he loved best.
