Why Poem by Holmes Jim

I paused to pondered a particular thought,
That tested truths that were woefully taught,
I laid aside my methodical tasks,
To challenge myself with questions asked,

Does my life serve a purpose beyond what I see?
Will the path that I've chosen enlighten me?
Am I here for a reason that I'm not quite aware?
Do I truly matter? I ask in my prayer,

Learning from others I may pass on my way,
Down life's highway till that inevitable day,
Searching for answers as the days pass bye,
Will I like who I am? As I lay down to die.
