Inspired by Clare McCallan's spoken word performance at Big Woods...

Below is a poem written by Coryn:

What is This All For?

I search for a meaning in all my good grades

In all my A's and teachers' smiles

In all the pride of my parents' words

What is all this for?

In all the Thank Yous for all my work around the house

What are those worth?

Nothing,

If I don't know why I did it.

I search for an answer to all my struggles

To all my studies

To get a good job?

To have lots of money?

This is what the world will tell you.

This is society's answer to the common question:

What is all this for?

I search for different answers

Or a different answer.

Only one would be enough.

I don't want to hear,

"Don't you want a good job?" 

Or, "You need money to live."

Because 

I don't

Think that

Money

Is the purpose

Of life.

And success doesn't matter

In the long shot.

This all isn't just for a good job,

Is it?

No.

I don't think so.

You may say that I'm being picky.

That I should take any answer I can get.

And accept it.

But I can't.

How could all my childhood and life just be for a good job?

There must be some other reason for all of this.

Money isn't the answer, either.

What is all this for?

Found Answer

Jesus.

He is the answer.

He is who we are all doing this for.

He is the reward

The grand and glorious reward

Of all our toils here on Earth.

He is the reason why we work

Why we learn

Why we LOVE.

He is worth

All our suffering,

All our sacrifices,

All our sorrow.

To be with Him

Will be worth it all.

This is the answer

I can accept

That I believe

To be true.

This answer makes sense.

JESUS is the answer,

No matter what the question is.

What is all this for?

Who is all this for?

Jesus.
