Have you ever looked in a mirror
At your own reflection
Do you see what you see
Or others recollection

The truth lies in the eye of the beholder
Maybe not understood now
But maybe when you are older
Each time getting bolder

It is truth you seek
In pain and love
A lesson learned not taught
Growing warm not colder

So maybe not a reflection
But a memory written in time
We learn and grow
Its not misdirection

This truth is in each of us
Never go a stray
For the the path is marked in love
The heart points the way

Stay to your values
Take none from no other
For thats when enemy becomes friend
A feeling like no other

Pain only creates pain
But can change to love
When acceptance is learned
From the heart up above

Never judge
Yet ye shall be judged
Learned that lesson
When push came to shove

When words put to paper
A heart never shamed
For each of has to learn it
The one and the same

I have to thank you
Each day from the start
For giving me the chance
To show you my heart

My name means true image
A name I understand
The words I live by
Each day at hand

Thank you for reading
Thank you for hello
I hope you never leave
I hope you never go

Let us stand
Our voices to be heard
Maybe not a voice
Maybe a word

The written word is dying
Lets make it anew
If not by me
Then through you

Each thought written
Very carefully planned
Because together united
Together we stand

My grandfather asked me
Grandson what will you be
Will you travel the land
Just like me?

I didn't know how to Awnser
I didn't know what to say
So I thought about it
And I prayed

For my grandfather had traveled the world
To see what he could see
I wanted to be like him
I wanted it to be me

I didn't want to travel the land I wandered
And he asked me why not
Because It has already been traveled
At least thats what I thought

There is more to discover in this world of ours
He told me one day
So travel the ocean
Travel and stay

Each place is sacred he told me
Respect present and past
Each day thank the lord
For at least that task

Every nation has beauty
He did explain
Respect the culture
The one and the same

Good night sweet moon
In a wolf's howl
It searches for it's mate
As light casts its shadow

A lone wolf
Never stands by its self
It follows its pack
To bring it to health

By night it howls
Ever night over
And watches the stars
As it showers

Goodnight sweet moon
It howls each night
From the end of the day
Til dawns light

Imagine you were Alice
A world like no other
Where a white rabbit
Could also be a brother


Down a burrow
In times wake
You think when she fell
She thought it was a mistake

It may have been a story
In a book you see
But I connect with Alice
I see more than me

For through stories is learning
Is natures past
In the pages we read
Is the way back

Which way you choose
Is all in a minds eye
To chase a Cheshire cat
Or to live lifes lie

Don't forget who you are
In your heart stay true
Or you might get a red queen
Saying off with you

We are hiding
Will you seek
We are not confided
To what we just speak

A key to a lock
A jam to a door
Will you open it
Will your emotions soar?

Let your words be your guide
A spindle it will weave
It will never slide
From what you truly believe
