Who Am I, Why Am I Here?

Who am I?

Why am I here?

Some ask out of curiosity,

some out of fear.

Who am I?

Why am I here?

Some ask out of adversity,

some over a beer.

We’ll, I say to you,

what difference does it make?

If only we’re the result,

of some random mistake.

If we came from nothing,

and to nothing we return,

then our time on this rock,

is of little concern.

But if we’re created,

in the image of a King,

then the question is valid,

not a trivial thing.

So, ask and consider,

the weight of this thought,

evaluate and ponder,

everything you’ve been taught.

The telling of truths,

and the telling of lies,

perceived by the masses,

depends on your eyes.

But truth is reality,

we can protest if we must,

we can’t defy gravity,

no matter how much we trust.

So, who are you,

and why are you here?

The question of the ages,

I cannot be more clear,

that you must be willing,

to look beyond the grave.

For eternity hangs out there,

He is waiting to save.

Just a fellow traveler in this journey called life whose been all over the proverbial map. I was a Captain in the United States Army, an internet entrepreneur before it's time, an Actor, a Real Estate Agent, Social Worker, Executive Director of a non-profit, a Production Foreman, Team Leader, Technical Writer, Small Business Owner, and a Quality and Operations Manager. As a volunteer, I have taught, coached, written lesson plans, led small groups and mentored men as a part of Christian Ministry. I currently work with men as a lay counselor both in and out of jail. I am a guy who never knew what I wanted to be when I grew up and quite frankly, still not really sure. I like to write stories, commentary, screenplays and a little poetry that I hope will make you think about more than what you’re wearing today, or whether your favorite team won the big game. My wife Jill and I have three adult children and two grandchildren. When I’m not working or enjoying my family, I find pleasure in the pursuit of writing thought provoking stories and poetry about the human drama.
