The core of my soul

knows faith makes me whole

It pleads to God

With more than a wink and a nod

It continues to soar

As I gleefully explore

It takes time

To remember my prime

It knows what to share

If offers tender loving care

It has a voice

That I use when I rejoice

It learns lessons

As it makes confessions

When it takes a fall

It knows who to call

It has eyes to see

What’s meant to be

It embraces a place

Filled with guidance and grace

It stands on solid ground

No matter who’s around

It has a gift

It gives me a lift

And life keeps me whole

To the core of my soul
