Where are we in life?

I was once told when I was a child,
I could be anything I wanted if I just tried,
I work hard and pushed myself to the limit,
I know not the meaning of deterred spirit...

Days turns to months and months turn to years,
Still restless am I, looking for what I yearn,
In the course of search I soon forget,
Of what's important and what I already have and had...

Then came a time in this life of mine,
Something I'll remember forever in time,
I lost someone so close to my heart,
My life felt so empty as its torn apart...

The nights I cried and days I was crestfallen,
I knew no longer this life and its reasons,
In the end what do I have to show for it?
Big houses, sports cars or mountains of gold bricks?

I turn to God, and finally I found,
A reason to life and everything that's around,
What is it worth all the money that we get?
When a peace of mind is something you don't have?

It's all a test from Him, I think it is so,
People are many and their hearts we won't know,
Be good my friends and work as hard,
Pray to Him and insyaAllah, all will be fine

My trust for people, might've depleted,
With cunning talks even sweet deceits,
But to Him, I put my love and trust,
Don't let me astray from Your one true path.

Have you found my friend, your purpose in life?
Your decisions in life, what makes you strive?
Cause at the end my friend, dust is still our beds,
And His judgment comes swift may you and I not forget...
