What beauty lies within my soul?
What is it that makes me whole?
Is it age and experience I wonder?
Or merely skin and bones brought together?
Could it be my endless thoughts
That keeps me in neverending knots?

Laying awake at night I know,
That I am simply me, and though,
It hurts so much to want to know,
What it is I was put here for.

But I know these answers are mine alone,
That the heart learns and never grows cold,
And the voice that whispers silently,
Telling me it'll come, if but only,
I lay still and listen, I may find,
Truths blown into the recesses of my mind.

What depths are there in my soul?
For how long will my heart be whole?
What lies just around the bend,
That'll break me down and then mend?

Suddenly I know my end will come,
When these tears will pour and then some,
When laughter will be a distant thunder,
And my life will only be in lives of others.

But until then, this I will say,
That I am happy to be here today,
May the seasons change and life grow still,
May the rains come down and the winters chill,
Let everything that is in my heart be made true,
That my love will carry through to you,
Be that God will one day smile and say,
My child, how wonderful you make the day,
And that May your Everyday, be a sign,
That Love lives on... as I Design.
