Within this life I find a place
Where heart will find release
Nurtured in sweet nature's path
Gathered thoughts increase

Deep within this heart renewed
With thoughts that I've opined
Silent now in retrospect
My quest will be designed

Want to be the breath of air
That breezes through the day
Hold my head with pride and joy
Through thoughtful words I say

Independent and aware
Of all things that I need
Walk within this confidence
My life will then proceed

Pause in life to realize
The power that's within
Deep the love now born in me
Convictions now begin

Take the time to know my worth
My thoughts made consciously
Journey starts with just one step
My soul now follows me.
