Within each of us there is a song.
The song is like no other
it is ours alone.
It is the song of our lives upon this earth.
It sings of our victories
it remembers our defeats.
Would we have shown courage
by never loved at all?
Would we have shown our creator
a lack of passion
by not living totally in the gift of time
that He so generously gave us?
I lived as a man
a creation of my God
in the singing of my song.
In those I loved
I gave more than I received.
If one was to be hurt by the ending of a love
I was always hurt the most.
I gave all in my being to protect the ones I loved.
In the pains that I endured
I suffered in their recall
more than once.
My song renders no apologies
for being made in His image.
The Passions is what separates us
from the wooden fence post.
I have breath
I have cried
I have laughed till I cried again.
In so doing have I found
the humor of my creator
in making my song
one that will be heard
throughout eternity.
