To give of my soul, <br />It needs to be about my self love, self worth. <br />The color of my eyes and what they've seen in my world. <br />Where I've been and where I want to be. <br />The decisions I make, the thoughts I have. <br />To heal my pain and be rid of self doubt. <br />To learn and achieve as my journey here continues. <br />To believe and trust what is in my heart. <br />To love my laugh, my tears, my hair, my face, my skin. <br />To love the the gift of my human being. <br /> <br />To give of my soul, <br />It needs to be about my hopes, my fears. <br />To acknowledge my strength and courage. <br />To bring peace to myself. <br />To know that I will always be alright. <br />To touch others only with love so that their souls will never <br />forget my soul in lifetimes to come. <br /> <br />(August 2007)<br /><br />Cathleen Hodgkinson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/to-give-of-my-soul/
