What Resonates In Me

"If I asked, “what resonates in you”,
What would you chose 

Is it a time and place that made its mark, 
Pulling you up when all seemed dark

Is it faith that provides,
That feeling inside

Or is it the compassionate view,
Of those misfortunate that imbue you

Is it a symbol or a sign,
Or it’s meaning behind

The power they represent,
Earthy or heaven sent

Is it family or friends,
That resonates within

What gives you strength,
To go the length 

Each day,
Everyday

Is it love of self,
Beyond all else

That lies within,
From each moment we begin

Like a reservoir inside,
Gifted to whom we decide

Reciprocal feelings to be matched,
Beyond family we attach

Energized by the spark,
That lights our vulnerable heart

So I ask you,
What resonates in you....."
