your reason

What is your reason 
for opening your eyes each day?
for smiling at a distant thought
or maybe one not so far away?

Is it a person
brand new who you are falling for?
Is it someone you’ve known
and you’ve always adored?

Is it a purpose 
bright and strong shining ahead?
Is it like a beacon in the night 
and why you lift your head?

Is it a belief 
that all will be well at the day’s end?
Is it that firm faith 
that makes your nights feel like a win?

Teach me to trust 
things can be good again 
And if the person you love is what 
your basking in, 
then I’m listening
and if it’s not a person at all 
but a hope from within 
well then wait one second 
before you begin 
I’ll grab my tea 
and settle in…
