There are two things in life that we all need to have before we come to  pass

These are not of monetary value or family heirlooms that we hope will last

These are things that we carry in our mind and heart each and every day

They affect the way we look at and live our life as we go along our way

One is that before we die we need to experience a true and unforgettable love

One that the passion was so intense and brighter than the sun above

The other is to have heard the story of the life from someone you truly admire

One that you remember and think of at the times when you find you’re frustrated and tired

These two things are the greatest gift we can ever hope to obtain

For after the experience of a true love, your life, it is never the same

And that story you were told will cheer you up no matter how many times through your mind you hear

For it will bring you back to the day it was told to you from someone that was so dear

From My World to Yours,
