Description

Nice to meet you, I said

I admire your strength

You have courage and patience

I once only dreamt

You stand tall and move forward with passion, yet grace

Your rivers are flowing, there is light on your face

And it emanates to all of the people around

And to me, I can see, there is something you’ve found

It’s something I was searching, a long while ago

A gem in the sand, a stone in the snow

I looked under, and over, past mountains, ‘round bends

And wandered, miles yonder, to the rainbow's end

The journey was thorough

But also quite long

I got tired and weathered

Lost the words to my song

May I ask you to help me

To teach me what you know

To move forward with strength

With the peace that you show

Well, you see, darling girl, you can pass rainbow’s end

And another, and another, it’s an infinite ascend

Or you can feel with your heart, put your toes in the sand

And know all you need is right where you stand

Life is here, it is now

You have more than you know

Look inside, not out there

Close your eyes and let go

Listen in to the sound of the voices within

The way trees talk to roots, and clouds talk to wind

There you’ll find all the answers you’ve been searching for

And the light that is dim will shine once more

Oh, thank you! I said, full of joy and much glee

Then I noticed

There was something familiar to me

I saw who she was

This woman was me
