Extend

There lays the answer to all life's riddles
enveloped in a line
the sum of existance exists in a few words
and you can understand them if you have the rhyme
the whole thing starts with the word I
simple on it's own but the impact can be clear
you can understand it if you only try
this word means me, the totality of soul
who i am, what i am, and why
Love is the second word that gleams up from the page
clear and vibrant and alive
as it follows us from age to age
tis within this word, we act out our lives
and strut our preening moment up upon the stage
one word is lacking from our simple phrase, let me give you a clue
its someting that i care about more then i can say
I think of it every day as i look into the cloudless sky of blue
its the last thought to cross my mind as i lay to rest each night
the first fragment of waking strength lends itself to.... You
