Analysis of Meaning of life.
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
We look if we can see
Know if we can know
Touch if we can feel
Hear to raise our spirit
Taste and maybe glow
But why are we all here
Perhaps we'll never know
Or maybe it is clear
as the waters flow,
We are here to build
That some of us know
But don't forget to move
Out of your comfort zone.
Though choice is all free will,
The path was read before.
