Be Curious
Stopping in the name of love
Implies a natural ending,
Yet the power of love
Is also everlasting,
So let the magic of being alive
Cast an enchanting spell
Along with the hope
That all will be well,
And choose to go above and beyond
Even if everything is gone,
Especially since a heart that goes on
Is just as powerful as the break of dawn,
And dare to show tender care
To leave behind an enduring legacy
That no one would ever frown upon
So that the soul would endure as well
