Seeking Life’s Real Meaning


I’d readily toil in rain or sun,
Just to earn enough to live;
But I’d rather like to help someone
And to have enough to give.

For seek I, not just bread to eat
Or a place where I can sleep,
But a meaning to make this life complete
And peace to always keep.

Aye, what is life if lived alone,
With not a bit of sharing?
And what man is a man with heart of stone,
Not for his brother caring?

So, my fervent prayer shall always be
To live each single day
With strength and courage and a heart that’s free
From guilt along the way.

For whither I go from here I know not,
Nor wherefrom I have come,
Beyond the truth that life is short,
From birth till rest in sum.


Eric A. Trott
31st July 1991
