MY PURPOSE IS LOVE
Dedicated to Val Schmidt & Sam Lair
(Written in 1998)
I sit or stand a good distance away
From you and your lives and pain
The ends that you go to for your survival
And whatever from life you hope to gain
But we are not so far apart at heart
That I can't relate to your binds
Your trials and sorrows we all experience
In order to find peace for our minds
I stand or sit closer than you think
And not so far from your sphere of reality
Partaking of my own parallel search
For love, joy and happiness in equality
While all around us lies oppressiveness
I love you with all the love I can muster
Seeking to overcome the walls between us
Towards the goal of touching all the luster
I sit or stand observing you shine close by
Amidst the fear of intimacy and commitment
Particularly with those who have little or nothing
When the purpose of us all is to give contentment
