The person I want to be

In my sleep and in my dreams, In my thoughts and in my reflections, I have a daunting question, What a person I want to be? To measure the immeasurable, To scale the unthinkable, The worth of life, Seems inconceivable. Leaving the past, I seek anew, A heart that’s kind, a mind that's true. A soul that listens, learns with grace, And walks through life at a steady pace. I want to walk with quiet grace, Through every challenge that I face, To lift the weary, heal the pain, And bring back light when hope seems slain. In every step, I long to grow, with strength to rise, yet gentle flow, To live with purpose, bold and free, This is the person I want to be.
