Although I may not live to meet you
May never hear you laugh or cry
I want you to know I love you
For you are next in time

Within you lives a story
The most important story in the world
Only you can tell it
Only you can make it unfold

Within you lives a place
Where everything moves and is still
It is a place all your own
Connected to everything, everywhere, everywhen

Within you lives a person
Beyond the manic material world
Money lights thirst to turn you green
But the real gold is your joy

You could die from this today
This today could very well kill you
Your choice isn’t whether to die but this:
Will you bring forth the gifts within you?
Within you lives a story
Within you lives a place
Within you lives worlds and stars
Universes and planes
Within you lives a person
No matter what, that person is still
They fall and fly and laugh and cry
Yet they always are: Always you are still
And though I may not live to meet you
May never hear you laugh or cry
I want you to know I love you
And you are next in this rhyme
