Poetry of Robert E. Kogan — Poems of Life, Love & Social Commentary

Destiny

Each of us is born with different capacities –

a purpose for which God created us.

Some were created to enrich our lives with art.

While others were created to bring about

        the golden age of man.

 

I have discovered my purpose –

the reason why God gave me life.

I was born to love you –

the most important purpose

        of my life.

 

For lonely years I was denied fulfillment –

never knowing you – no fulfillment to my life.

When hope had been almost abandoned

you finally entered, just in time for me

to give you the love that

God intended me to deliver.

        I have fulfilled my destiny.
