The Question

As I watch the setting of the sun
My thoughts drift to contemplating
Of how and why I am here
Is there really an answer to questions I pose

Life offers more questions it seems
As my thoughts turn inward
Searching my soul for answers
As to where do I belong

I know what I do
But I do not know who I am
I know the functions I serve
But is there a bigger plan

Who is the man that is
The lover and the father
The son and the scholar
The leader and the follower

The questions I ask are to small it seems
For the roles we all play
Are much larger than our small minds
Could every comprehend

So I relax into my thoughts
Knowing that the divine will always provide
The path and the tools that will take me
To the place that I belong

I already home
