Unanswered Question

Why do we exist? Why are we here?
What is bravery? What is fear?
Why do we die? Can we live for an extra year?
What is happiness? Why do we cheer?
What is sadness? Why do some not shed a single tear?
Well listen closely, and you will see my dear.
The meaning of life - our purpose on earth.
Starts on a very important day - our birth.
In the future, we'll find out why we are here, what we are worth,
These unanswered questions will be no more,
After we finish this journey on earth.
