Finding my place
I once knew
A dream so true
A picture I childishly drew
Vivid colors and hue
Of bright pink, greens and blue
The deep of the lake
Or the wisp of flake
Atop a mountain peak
Or pastures that gleam
Such desires I seek
This life and maze
Its love and grace
A measure of space
The chasm that grew
Between the old and new
Simple virtue so true
Within this space
I must lace
The world and my place
