( My daughter sleeps,
  And my heart sings her a song... )

There will never be another you.

I may meet a girl
  And make her my wife,
But no matter what
  You're the love of my life.
  
No matter where you go,
  You'll never be alone,
'Cause long as I live
  My heart is your home.

You are my happiness,
  Your laugh ignites me,
If my soul forgets,
  Your smile reminds me.

And no matter what you do,
I'll always be proud of you.

The song of my spirit,
The story in my heart,
Your birth was my beginning,
Your love was the start.

I will never leave you.
I will never let you go.

And when I am gone,
My heart will beat on
Inside of your soul,
Where love sings its song.
such a happy dad

You
[ Why do you keep walking in fear?
    If you'd just listen...
Cut out all the thinking and hear
    What you're missing... ]

Here is my suggestion,
    Try it on your heart...
Lose your mind's connection,
    Life's ready to start...

Invest the next few minutes
    Looking for your being...
Notice the next sentence:
    This is all a dream...

Stop your thoughts from running;
    Take the time to see...
The fiction you're becoming
    Is not reality...

You are the one that sees,
    You are the one that notices,
You are the one that is aware
You are the ONE.
You are ONE.

I am you and you are me.
I am us and you are we.
You are. I am.
I am.
I.

You are the one that is aware of the fact that your brain is
translating these words into electrical signals called thoughts.

You are the one that is watching yourself read.
You are the one that knows you are reading.

You are the one that knows.

You are NOT the one that is wondering why this stopped being a poem
and became something entirely different.

You are the one that KNOWS why.
You are the one that sees through these words into their deepest meaning.

Stop thinking. Open your heart and ponder these words slowly, over and over,
until you feel your soul burst in the joy that it is.

The joy that YOU ARE.

Again.

YOU ARE.
LOVE. LOVE is. You are/is/was/will be.

Peace. Be still and know.

I AM THAT I AM.

Confused? No you're not. Your mind is. Your soul is smiling in recognition.

Life is about recognizing that recognition.
Life is about LOVE.
Life is about YOU.

Whoever you think you are... I WROTE THIS FOR YOU.

Not your body. Not your mind. Not your personality. Not your story...

YOU.

:)
If this seems crazy, you are not ready. If it seems sane, you are close. If you recognize it... you are home.

I am not my glory;
I am not my false reality.
I am not my story;
I am not my personality.
I am not my past;
I am not my hurt;
I am not the last;
And I am not the first.

I AM, and that is enough.

I accept what is.
I understand this moment.
I love this moment.
And for this I am ever grateful.

My life is incredible.
The journey, so sweet;
My adventure, inevitable,
The path, unique.

The time is right now.
I can find my success.
I still don't know how;
But that's part of the test...

To believe in beauty,
Even when I fail to see it;
For in this act,
I become the Love I needed.

A father looks deeply
  into the eyes of his son,
He speaks soft and sweetly:
  "Child, my days are done."

"I've loved every moment
  From the day that we met.
The day of your birth,
  And I'll never forget,
You told me you loved me
  Without using words,
I gave you my heart
  And you gave me the earth.

"And though my life's ending,
   I want you to know,
This is the beginning,
  Of life on your own.
So hear me right now,
   With these final breaths,
And I'll tell you how,
   Your life shall be blessed:

Sing with the water,
  Dance with the bees;
Travel the world,
  And sail on the seas.
Learn to enjoy
  The moments you have;
For now is eternal,
  Yet time moves so fast.

"Learn to love,
  And love to learn;
Light your passion,
  And let it burn.
Reach someone,
  Touch longing lives;
We are all one,
  Together we fight.

"Let go of hurt,
  Learn to forgive,
Understand others,
  We're all new at this.
One day you'll see,
  You'll blink and wake up;
And then you will teach
  Your son to grow up.

On this morning
3 years ago,
I lived in hell.

Things were all so
terrible then,
But I couldn't tell.

On this morning
One year ago,
I woke up in heaven.

Miracles became real,
Thoughts became things;
I chose what to feel --
That changed everything.

On this morning,
5 minutes ago,
I woke up smiling.

Because somewhere between
The pain that I felt
And the joy that I found...

There was one decision
  That altered my path;
A spirit incision,
  Soul science, Mind math...

I made up my mind --
  So simple, you see --
To open my heart...
  I chose to Believe.

In love, in laughter,
  In giving and sharing;
In helping someone
  And actually caring.
In breaking the mold,
  In trying things new;
In paving the road,
  And choosing my view.

My Life is a piece of art,
  So beautiful, so pure,
That tells of my story
  And the path I've endured
The colors are vibrant,
  The picture is clear.
The moral is evident...
  There's happiness here.
My life, in so many words...

Pay attention.

Pay attention to this moment;
To the sounds, to the lights,
To the colors in the the sky.

Pay attention to your thoughts;
To the world inside you,
And the way it guides you.

Pay attention to your feelings;
To the joy and the tears,
To the hopes and the fears.

Pay attention to your heart;
To the way that it beats,
To the rhythm it keeps.

Pay attention to your life...

The future already happened,
You're just learning the story.

Accept it. Let it run through you.

Let Love overfill your heart,
Let Light overglow your soul,
Let Hope overrule your fear,
Let New overtake the old.

This is your life;
You're doing your best.
Decide that today
Will outshine the rest.

I do not know you.
But I love you.
And if you really pay attention,
You'll feel it, too.

You are the sunshine that wakes you,
  And the moonlight that sings you to sleep.
You are everything that is here.
  You are laughter; you are tears.
You are passion, longing,
        Reaching, finding...

You are the stars in the sky, eternally bright.
  You are the adventure you seek; the battles you fight.

Let go of fear, there's beauty here,
Just open up your ears and hear!

You are Love.
You are the Question and the Answer.
You are real, you are here, and you are now.

And you are so Beautiful.
