Life's Secret

			What is the secret of life?
			Some evade the thought
			Unable to face the idea
			Afraid what they might find

			Thinking the questions will consume
			It will take all their thoughts
			That it was swallow them whole
			Never to be with peace

			Others ponder the question
			Feeling important that they do
			Thinking they figured it out
			That they are masters of the mind

			Saying it was complicated
			Others will not understand
			Only they understand
			Saying it boggles the mind

			The first is too weak minded
			Being afraid of a question
			The second is arrogant
			Complicating the anwser

			I know simple answer
			I hold it in my arms each night
			The other half of my soul
			It's just that simple
