A Piece of Me

Lying in the dark I see Another piece or part of me It's within reach of my small hand But requires the journey to another land I think I need it to become more Not merely a trinket from a trendy, new store I obey the promptings and get on track I walk forward, onward- without looking back Years go by as I find myself Rotating endlessly from shelf to shelf I don't stay in one place for long But each day I learn a bright new song My heart is as happy as it could be And I prance and skip about merrily And lying in the dark that night Made my weak soul take off in flight I journeyed to a distant land So I could hold happiness in my hand
