I have a vision Of a future Bright, joyous, And the contrast of sorrow Children skipping, giggling Darkness and light Musical notes drifting through Dramatized passion, hilarity Nature surrounding Encapsulated in cobweb of love and support Unfortuna-mentally I am at once terrified of settling - being tied down Losing independence, individuality Missing dreams - at once terrified And at once yearning With all of me For a family For a dream of forever To settle and begin such a masterpiece To commit to And be certain of The depth there in Something more important than me or mine To dedicate self Surrender Sacrifice for And again such a venture requires a partner Who shares the dream Enriches the dream Supports the dream. Contradictions, aren't we all? Or am I just yearning for the erasure of self Through divine love? Aah~ maternal instincts! Life of mine, Live out the step you're in Young one Before you yearn and plan for the next! So fresh and yet to begin - Society's great work machine awaits And the experience of other lands! Life of mine, Live the experience of now Fully Grow all the more for it Feel each pain and joy Clarify mind Build strength of self Claim a sense of identity See where it takes you...
