To allow the heart and the soul
To both endure,
It is especially important
To stay truly pure,
But rather than feel
Completely unsure,
One must strive for a sense of unity
With the hope to achieve everlasting beauty,
And by going above and beyond
Coping with reality,
One could celebrate the human identity,
And by continuing the story
Within the lifelong narrative,
There could even be
Opportunities to forgive,
So be open to the possibility
Of being able to live
And by doing anything that it takes
To learn from past mistakes,
Life itself could be absolutely wonderful
