Reason or Rhyme

Sometimes I wonder why I'm here.
Is there a reason or a rhyme?
Is there a purpose to my life?
Or am I just wasting time?
Answers to these question
Have evaded me so long.
I guess I'll get my answers
When my days are done.

I've been around a long time
Seen some highs and lows.
Things that brought me so much joy
Things that brought me woes.
Like everyone else I have my
Hopes and dreams and fears.
Spent so much time laughing
And some time in tears.

Sometimes I wonder why I'm here.
Is there a reason or a rhyme?
Is there a purpose to my life?
Am I just wasting time?
Answers to these question
Have evaded me so long.
I guess I'll get my answers
When my days are done.

I've tried to live a good life.
To be fair to everyone.
Worked hard when I needed to
And I've tried to have some fun.
I guess if I am lucky
When my time is through,
Somebody somewhere will say
I remember you!

Sometimes I wonder why I'm here.
Is there a reason or a rhyme?
Is there a purpose to my life?
Am I just wasting time?
Answers to these question
Have evaded me so long.
I guess I'll get my answers
When my days are done.
