Answers to the questions we seek
Candle of faith we burn with hope lighted
Through the ups and downs we walk
As passing by seasons speak of life’s folded mystery
From a miracle of birth to the unspoken truth of death
People come by in life every single day
Some last a season and some live a lifetime
But everyone comes with a purpose to serve their destiny
Every flower blooms for a season
But lives a life for a reason within its allotted time
Whether it’s to paint the nature bright and vibrant
Or give joy of TLC to others
Final version of master plan has been designed, we know
Pain of every kind is a secret disguised blessing
Tears unfold misery of our hidden fears
Anger attacks the existence of higher powers
The roles we play on life’s stage with perfection
After heroism, playing a villain, take life by bull’s horns
But at the end of the musical, our life seeks its purpose
As we know is written in gold for us to read though not always we understand

The message you are conveying here is a good way of relating your work to my Biblical, proverbial prompt. But the individual lines and verses need some tightening up, in my humble opinion.
Thank you for entering my contest. -
Your last paragraph speaks in Shakespeare's metaphor that "All the world's a stage..." I would have liked to see that image in the beginning to give this poem a little more cohesiveness. An overriding metaphor for life would have added some extra punch. Good luck in this contest. Peace, Liz
