This is what it means to be
To live and breathe
To catch an eye and a sly grin
To push your feet in the water
To let the rain smash your tears away
To cry
To know why you cry
To sob and be held by someone who understands you
This is what it means to be
To look in the mirror with admiration
To flush away your deprecation
To flutter at the sight of a name
To have your name fluttered over
To nap, and dream
To see places crafted with holy hands
This is what it means to be
To make another's load lighter
To laugh until you ache with humor
To sing low jazz in the shower
To take long, slow autumn walks
To sip something warm and gaze at the stars
To realize how much of the universe goes on with out you
To release your stress and cares
To jump from some ridiculous height
This is what it means to be
To pray to your creator
To feel His protection cover you
To read of his comforting word
To know you're never alone
To walk broadly into a bright unknown future
To know you're never alone
