Purpose

I got my little wake-up call

It came on Christmas Day

With childish anticipation

I scratched away the paper

To reveal another Lynx gift set

Then forced a grateful smile

As I studied it and pondered

Is this what I'm worth to the world?

The difference that I've made?

I'd woken up, I'd sniffed the coffee

Come the New Year, I was ready

To set about my goal

To carry out my plan

To be who I was meant to be

No matter what the hurdles

I would have to find a way

To make a mark upon this life

Banish the pointless stupor

Awaken the soul within

Fill my heart with purpose

And let my life begin
