People Everywhere (1997)

People everywhere
Rushing, dashing, racing.
Destinations, known and unknown,
Await those that are destined for them.

Where are we going?
What will the trip be like?
Will it be pleasant once we are there?

As I travel through life,
I have experienced many adventures.
Some I would rather not remember
And a multitude that I will never forget.

Time,
Once a seemingly senseless voyage,
Has transformed itself into a
Wonderful quest for me...
For us.

People everywhere
Arranging, preparing, laying out
Plans for the future.
They think they know what will be.

What awaits us?
Will we achieve what we desire?
Will the fates be kind?

The recent past has taught me
That I can not always know what is to come.
I once thought I knew what to expect,
But you have proven me very wrong.

Now, no matter what happens,
I realize that I am wholly prepared
For whatever may lie before me.
For I am no longer alone on my journey...
I have you by my side.

People everywhere
Searching, seeking, pursuing
That unique, special person which will
Fill the emptiness in their lives.

Why must they elude us?
Do they exist?
Will we ever find them?

With each passing day,
My expectations are consistently exceeded
By your generosity, devotion,
Thoughtfulness, patience and love.

My soul is calm and my heart is light.
For, in you, I have discovered
The answers to all of my questions.
I have found the one that makes me complete

Beyond my wildest dreams.
