Poetry, You Are My Reason
Poetry, You Are My Reason
First time ever I saw you,
you were lyrics in a song.
You touched the very soul in me
you helped to keep me strong.
You gave me hope when hopeless
through changes in due season.
You became the very blood in me
poetry, you are my reason.
You cause my soul to soar above
where wings of eagles fly.
You unlock the healing
that is in the tears I cry.
You're the voice that's in the wind
the answered prayers I pray.
The song deep in my heart,
you're words I long to say.
You move me when unmovable
you shake me to my core.
When I've nothing left to give
you help me to give more.
You are the life I choose to live
the way I show I care.
You are the very strength in me
the love I have to share.
You are the hope that lives in me
the faith that keeps on growing.
The good in me the world can see
the beauty in me showing.
You carry me when I am weak
through changes in due season.
You are the very heart in me
poetry, you are my reason.
