Someday I will smile

and find the warmth of my smile

reflected back at me

Someday I will reach out

and find that I only have to reach halfway

for someone will be reaching out to me

Someday I will find

someone with whom I can share

But for now I must try to know myself

and the world around me

So when the time comes for me to give

I will know the meaning

of my gift

Because I took a moment to speak

and you took a second to listen

A tiny part of me will leave with you

and a little bit of you will stay with me

Great Spirit

Grant should I never find

The comfort of a woman's love

In my short stay

That I learn to appreciate

Enough of Life's beauty

That this one shortcoming

Will not leave me wanting

In a world so full of wonder

With so many exciting things to do

It's a shame

So many choose to just exist

Rather than to live

From time to time a stranger appears

and presses a button that starts emotions

churning within us,

But it is not so much that person

as it is our interpretation of

what they can mean to our life

That makes our throats dry

our speech hesitant

But worst of all

Makes us

so very, very vulnerable

For in a world intent on just

MAKING LOVE,

I wish instead to my spend time,

simply KNOWING LOVE
