You are what you are,
Every desire and each star;
Reaching into the night,
With your heart and your light.
Bringing forward the truth,
In its endless road youth;
All the wandering ways,
In the tones of the days.
You are reaching for love,
To the clouds here above;
With the time and infinity,
For whatever comes to be.
The roads are never ending,
With new ways blending;
For the hope is like a stream,
Reality within each dream.
You can give what you try,
Limits are like the sky;
And the ways many more,
Reaching destines to the shore.
Roots are through the heart,
With kindness from the start;
Play your love and your game,
Burn it into a kindness flame.
Peter S. Quinn
