The True Meaning Of Life

The Years have passed by,
In the blink of an eye,
Moments of sadness,
And joy have flown by.

People I loved,
Have come and have gone,
But the world never stopped,
And we all carried on.

Life wasn't easy,
And the struggles were there,
Filled with times that it mattered,
Times I just didn't care.

I stood on my own,
And I still found my way,
Through some nights filled with tears,
And the dawn of new days.

And now with old age,
It's become very clear,
Things I once found important,
Were not why I was here.

And how many things,
That I managed to buy,
Were never what made me,
Feel better inside.

And the worries and fears,
That plagued me each day,
In the end of it all,
Would just fade away.

But how much I reached out,
To others when needed,
Would be the true measure,
Of how I succeeded.

And how much I shared,
Of my soul and my heart,
Would ultimately be,
What set me apart.

And what's really important,
Is my opinion of me,
And whether or not,
I'm the best I can be.

And how much more kindness,
And love I can show,
Before the Lord tells me,
It's my time to go.

SPECIAL LOVE POEMS FOR GIRLFRIENDS

  Her eyes are like the stars in the sky, Her sweetest smile is what makes me  high. Sometimes I wish I  could hug her forever, And till the end of our life, be  together. Thank God for  making me meet this  angel, Who has made my ordinary life so very special. I promise to love you till the end of my life, let me be your hero, my beloved, my wife. If i could  give you one  thing in life, i would give you the ability to  see yourself through my eyes only then would you realize how special you are to me. Sometimes i wonder if love is worth  fighting for, but then i remember your face and i'm ready for war. You never fail to  amaze me everyday there is  something new that makes me love you even more than the day before.
