TEXAS (it's all big)

Is it something of this world
Is it something I can know
Is it something I can plant
Is it something that would grow
Is it something I can touch
Is it something that would show

Tell me what is on your mind
Please give me some kind of hint
You gave me chance after chance
And each one of them I've spent

You always were so patient
When I was getting off the track
When I was straying further on
You were there to bring me back

Is it something in this room
Is it something in your eyes
Is it something made to last
Is it something that won’t die
Tell me if I might be warmer
When I ask you only sigh

Sometimes I wish to end this
And ask you what you’re after
Would my simple mind be met
With sweet and gentle laughter

Sometimes when you stop the search
You discover so much more
It’s not a guess, I know its love
Is that what you're looking for

I think this is fantasmic!  You have all these questions and then realize why ask why. Twistingly enough, you still end with the question, "Is that what you're looking for."  I believe there should be some sort of balance between all of the questions and accepting things/people for what/who they are or are not.  You've got my brain going tonight and eye thank you. nicework
