What is My Purpose

Charles Booth 2000 (Fairhope)

What is my purpose in life?
 Maybe to be a football player?
 To be president of the country?
 To be a neurologist or a surgeon?
 To be a teacher or a scientist?
 To be a soldier or a general?
  To be an astronaut or a farmer?
  Do you think I could be any of these things?
