Why am I here

Paul wrote this on his 21st birthday

it's may 3, 1975
something compells me to stop
and ask myself
why the heavenly father has kept me alive.
why am I here?
what is my goal?
I hear a little voice
chattering in my mind:
I know my goal,
I just know it--
i was brought in the world to be a poet
the voice tells me
some day some way
by the means of a song or a poem
I'll make someone cry or be happy;
I'll make this world a happier home.

change the world
I can never do,
there is only one thing we all can do,
which is wait
for the great glorious day
where we all meet our fate,
when we meet the heavenly father
at the heavenly gate.
