Do you guess I have some intricate purpose?

Mary Mc Bride
Do you guess I have some intricate purpose?

Do you guess I have some intricate purpose?

 

Everything I needed
I needed to become
Everything I became
I needed to love

I had no capacity for waiting
for wailing,
or for despair
I moved even when I could only crawl

It kept me alive
Focused and adoring
I came to love this world
its every moment
its invitation to stand
to bend, to put a foot down
Lift up
And rise

I rose
And each and every awakening
I remember
That I chose
To love this world
