Too Forever To Be Me

There's a passion to love,
Too deep for mortal man to know
Too undefined to be shown
It means more than words can say
Too deep down to run away
Too crystal clear to be dark and gray

There's no question in faith
Forever forgiving and blind
Forever true to this soul of mine
Belief in something's what keeps us sane
Forever hidden and constantly revealed
Forever waiting, like a fruit to be peeled

There's life beyond what you know
To expand your horizons, teach yourself
To stay out of fights, put your temper on the shelf
Educate your brain, your heart, and your soul
To be the person you want to be
To let your entire self be free

There's so much I could tell you
Be yourself, don't be afraid to cry
Be honest, and remind yourself never to lie
Believe me, there's much left to learn
Be compassionate, generous, and kind
Be alive, it's so much more fun, you'll find

There's life after emotions,
Me is who I am
Me is the one who follows the lamb
Life without you has no meaning, but
Me, all willing, will survive
Me is the person I long to be inside



 Hope,
Alicia A. Renzelman

Alicia,

Very lovely and inspiring.  We would all benefit from this mind set.  Some of us learn the hard way the need to be ourselves and not let others mold us.

Lovely Alicia, I was hoping it would go on longer

Thank you all, as I said before, I don't think I could go on without all of the encouragment you all give me.  I never thought that my poetry was any good, it was just a way of expressing myself.  Thanks again.


 Hope,
Alicia A. Renzelman
