I hold my hand over my heart
To contain all the amazing things, people, and emotions that crossed my path this year
To keep in all the love
all the energy
the kisses
the memories
the highs
and even the lows that proved to me I was still alive
the stories
the trips
the laughs
those good cries from times you thought your heart was so broke it would never get back together-(its still in one piece)

I've bowed my head down humbly and hoped for the best
In search of something bigger than myself
... And still my love of life never dies
I've left my tracks and I see new doors to head towards

I'm still here for a purpose. The older I get, the more I know why.
