I know
The world goes round
I know what has been
Comes back around
I know my sorrow and my joy
All come and go
Leaving feelings
Sometimes I don’t want to know
Then again I know
What is now does not last
It comes to past then goes
As all the world does
This I know.

All the time I wonder where I belong.
Maybe my soul knows
But it doesn’t say
And I wander along.
My heart filled with sadness
Wishing I knew
Where I do belong.

I will survive
I will breathe and be alive
I will rejoice
I will have a choice in decisions made
I will laugh and cry
I will live then die
But
I will
I will survive.

In my dream
I see fortune full of destiny
Mine to have
Mine to be
Let me begin living
This my dream
In that destiny
I see.

In the forest I found
A house, a home
So profound.
No windows to shed light
But a cozy home, a place for respite
Adorned with flowers pink and white
A bell to toll when someone
Strange comes lurking
Late at night.
A front door I can’t find
Yet welcome are all
Who poke their head inside.
May you see this house
So profound
May you enjoy all it has to give
There in the forest
This house, this home
That I found.

Why have I come?
Where will I go?
Answers here
But
Do they show
The world I’ll live in
Places I’ll go
Feelings I’ll feel?
Answers
I will or will not know.

Everything is for a reason.
Not mine to wonder why.

When I feel
The tenderness
The soft calling
From my heart
Let me begin to process
All these things
I feel
In my head
In my heart.
