Do You Ever Wonder

Do you ever wonder Why some times relationships go asunder? What were the short comings and/or the blunder? What caused that awesome storm to lose its thunder? Do you ever wonder? Did you ever dream A dream so big, It became a theme? A dream so rich, it reigned supreme? A dream so proud, it bolstered your self-esteem? Did you ever dream? Do you ever think In the chain of your life, what is the missing link? How quickly that life can change in just an eyes blink? That something big and wonderful was on the brink? Do you ever think? Did you ever share? Expressed the hopes and fears you hide in there. Speak of your imperfections and flaws, did you dare? Feel so confused, that you could only find the answers in prayer. Did you ever really share? Did you ever win? Such as the marathon from fat to thin. Or the sport of discovering who you really are within. The war on quitting bad habits, you begin. Tell me, did you ever win? Did you ever tell? Tell that special someone, you were proud when they would excel. Tell that you loved them no matter what, even if they fell. That what’s important is inside, that the outside is just a shell. Did you ever tell? Do you ever speak? Express the dreams and wishes that you seek. Tell someone you thought they were special and unique. That you were awed by their mystique. Well, Did you ever speak? Did you ever explore? Move out of your comfort zone and tread on a distant shore. Look for answers not from others, but deep within your core. To realize that beyond what you can see, you know there is more. I wonder, did you ever explore? Did you ever partake? Really experience life and not just fake. Get in touch with and allow all your senses to wake. To permit any and all emotions, to rumble and quake. I ask you, did you ever partake? Did you ever shine? Do you share a memory with others that hinges on divine? Can you still feel the passion that a special friendship can define? I seek this for my future; I will plan and create my own design. Here is my question, did you ever shine?
