I Will Be

I will be 

Rarely elaborate, but always beaming 

A woman who is more concerned with hearts than faces 

Who sees through skin to the spirit 

I will be 

A friend to those who hurt 

Reaching out my hands to lift heads 

The ache of humanity running deep in me 

Along with the love 

I will be 

Open to the adventures of life 

Open to the souls 

And carrying beauty in my arms for any to take, 

As they have need 

I will be myself 

And it will be enough
