Purpose
by Michael Romani

Through our trials
We earn our name
Be it one that's proud
Or bring us shame

In this name
We find our purpose
Honor or blame
This is how the world knows us

We beat the bags
Until the sand runs out
As life ebbs and sags
Removing all of our doubt

There are our trials
That have given us names
Our tears and our smiles
With only ourselves to blame
