My Goal Poem by Phil Soar

Whenever I've been questioned
About my goal in life
My answer is to wake each day
And embrace toil and strife
It cannot be avoided
And very few can say
That they have not encountered it
In some very personal way.

I never set myself a goal
I did not see the sense
I never challenged theories
I just sat on the fence
In dreams I played the guitar
I wrote and sang my songs
But dreams were all they really were
And when I woke, they'd gone.

I like to think The life I'll leave
Will have been mine alone
And that It won't have been a waste
No failures to atone
I will not have regrets in life
I've lived and loved and then
Maybe I've achieved a goal
But who'll know where and when? .
