People will ask me
if there ever is a point
to anything other than this
and I will tell them that
yes, yes there is.

In everything you do
you should do it with love
and hope, passion, grace
whether at the courtesy of others
or for one's own pleasure.

With all of your heart
you must try to see the light
even on the darkest eves
for it will guide you through
your most difficult trials.

And lastly, oh, but lastly
shall you see the world
as your canvas -- plain, white and delicate
in need of a great story
to be placed upon it.
