I Search for the Meaning
by Alisa Joaquin

I search for the meaning in my life.
It has illuded me greatly for what seems forever.

You gave me meaning,
which helped me feel complete.

I lost that meaning,
then found it in another.

I again search for the meaning in my life.
Having lost it a second time, I must go on.

I have sought the meaning for so long,
I had forgotten what meaning meant.

I found that meaning again, alive and whole,
realizing it was you, my son, that gave it to me.

And in so doing, I have found it in myself.

My search is ended.
