Purpose

The places you've taken me
The heights that I soar
My breath has forsaken me
I keep gasping for more

You've given my soul wings
And together we fly
The song my heart sings
Just comes out a sigh

It's more than a feeling
It's my reason to live
My life more appealing
With the love that you give

I now know for certain, that Heaven is real
You give my life purpose, a reason to feel

Very captivating, Larry. enjoyed. Larry I'm feeling guilty. Wrote a zoo limerick for the Zany Zoo contest. Took liberties with your mother-in-law which I shouldn't have done. Thought I was being funny but May have overstepped the bounds. Please read it . If you don't approve I'll delete it. Should have asked you first but thats hindsight. Let me know. Thanks - best regards Ralph.
