As open as can be
As honest as can be
As vulnerable as can be
As loving as can be
Still one heart beats alone
Still one experience is known
Still one expression we give
Still one life is lived

Who can know our every step?
Who can know our every thought?
Who can know our every sorrow?
Who can know our every feeling?

Of love, is my life full
Of purpose do we share
Of desire do we express
Of togetherness there is no equal love

Of family, is my life full
Of history do we share
Of kindness do we express
Of love do we honor

Of friends, my life is full
Of laughter do we share
Of ideas do we express
Of security do we hold dear

I have wanted for nothing
Been given more than most dream
Lived in many places
Loved many others
Experienced countless extraordinary times
Done what others could not
Have known the rich and the poor
Have known the great and the low
Have known the good and the evil
Have known the sound and the insane
Have walked with giants
Have hidden my own talents
Have created and destroyed my own life
Many times

Her that I love is a discovery of life
They of my blood are a foundation of life
They of my friends are a growth of life

All, that we alone may experience
All, that we alone may reveal
All, that we alone may choose
All, that we alone may awaken

For only ONE has knowledge of all
And is with us in every breath
Only One has known every step
And every thought
And every feeling
And every experience
Of anyone on earth
Since time began.

Only ONE may judge or weigh
Your good and your bad
Your greatness and weakness
Your purpose and talent
Your action and intent
Your belief and hope
Your desire and need
Your want and dream

For of all those we love
And who do earnestly love us
They too are as us
And have been within themselves
Unknowing it all
Seeking connection
Seeking togetherness
Seeking acceptance
Seeking understanding
Seeking comfort and safety
Seeking love and unity
All confined in the flesh
Of solitude

For without the source of such things
Do we not know the fullness of such things
And without the Spirit of life
Do we not know the spirit of life
Seeking always alone for meaning
In endless ever ending experiences

Save one experience
The awakening to God who knows
All of us.

It is God who has watched us
And God who did guide good
And God who saved
And God who healed
And God who listened
And God who took account

For not one breath is forgotten
Nor is any thought without consideration
Indeed the deepest part of our heart
Is known and cherished
Even our secrets does God know
Even those we hide from ourselves
What we have forgotten
God remembers for us

And with the Spirit of God as our guide
We do find and see purpose
We do feel and know acceptance
We do experience lasting love
We do discover ourselves as never before

With God as our teacher and council
We do see a better answer
We do known a better thought
We do have a better experience
We do understand a better wisdom

With God as our center
We do not feel alone
We do not feel rejected
We do not feel forgotten
We do not feel broken

No tool of earth can ever answer
The millions and billions of seconds
Of our life
No knowledge can ever qualify it
No expression can ever explain it
No seeking can ever justify
Every step of our life
But God

In that is the purpose
Of our solitude
That I seek to answer it
And that I find the answer

The question is why
The answer is God
The experience is how
The lesson is God
The feeling is profound
The comfort is God
The seeking is intuitive
The reason is God
The purpose is choice
The answer is yours.
