The Reason

© 2017 by P Michael Biggs

We are here for a reason.

Perhaps it is our season.

What are you doing for others?

They are, after all, our brothers.

We’re born for a reason.

This life we’re given is our season

To go and do, learn and earn,

There’s a reason for this season

In life, what is your aim?

Every skill is one to tame.

We lay no blame,

we lay no shame.

Our aim is ours to claim.

Not a Bad Life

© 2017 by P Michael Biggs

 

Maybe it’s a bad day,

Not a bad life.

Each day has its struggles,

Its worries and its strife.

And we get through it

We struggle to survive

We take it bit by bit

Even when we’re ninety-five

We aim to endure

That is for sure

Sometimes we take a detour

In searching for a cure

Life is not a bad life

Even when in strife

We work, we think

even when not in sync

It’s life, it’s life, it’s life

Life Is a Teacher

© 2017 by P Michael Biggs

Life is a teacher.

Are we learners?

The lessons go beyond

how to be an earner.

We learn coping, and growing,

reaping and sowing,

wrong and right,

weak and might.

Yes … life is a teacher

Life teaches bad from good,

and what we should

and should not do.

And what is true

and how we too

can win and come through

and do and undo

all we go through.

Now when we learn,

we learn to discern,

and to take our turn,

and what to spurn,

and where to turn.

Yes, life is a teacher,

and if you are a believer

in life as a teacher

then become a seeker

and learn from this teacher,

this wild mystical creature

called life.

Enlarge Your Horizons

© 2017 by P Michael Biggs

Enlarge your horizons

so you can know

the kind of person to be

the kind of people to know

Books take you places

and you meet new faces

Travel is so good

And one really should

travel on, travel on.

Dare to leave home.

Small thinking is small

It’s not tall, no not at all.

New horizons abound,

they are waiting to be found.

Step up to the call,

new horizons can enthrall.

Enlarge your horizons,

come one, come all.
