I ~ I Am

I Am

I am the ability to love unconditionally, to dream you awake

I wonder whether we are asleep or sleepwalking.

I hear life's music in everything around me.

I see the song played out in the sky.

I want to dance with you.

I am the ability to love unconditionally, to dream you awake.

I pretend that I am stronger than Hercules but,

I feel fragile in your hands.

I touch the stars in the sky with anxious fingertips

I worry that someone will catch me crying

I cry every time a hungry child dies

I am the ability to love unconditionally, to dream you awake.

I understand that all things have their own time

I say that love will conquer all

I dream beside you, safely protected from harm

I try to find the joy in each breath of life

I hope it makes a difference, somewhere along the way

I am the ability to love unconditionally, to dream you awake.
