Raison D'être

 

It is time.

You are formed and ready

The world awaits to greet you.

Who are you? 

Infant debutant, show yourself.

An anxious life begins.

It unfolds.

So much to see.

So much to learn.

So many choices.

You question, you try.

You laugh, you cry.

You feel, you grow.

You're not alone.

Others are here.

You share and play.

You have your own will.

You find your way.

Days for fun, days for tears,

You know joy, confusion, fear.

Victories won, battles lost.

Mistakes are made.

Nevertheless, you endure.

You bear your guilt.

Those who dare judge neglect their own shame.

Only your pardon, can ease your pain.

Only your pardon will ease your pain.

I know. I know well.

Release your pain.

Learn, grow, live on.

You are wiser, stronger, 

You forgive and know forgiveness.

Your mettle is forged.

You will know love.

You will share love.

This purpose alone

is your raison d'être.
