It Must Be

It Must Be

Inside I feel my heart flutter
Moving forward from the past into the future
A soul lingering in hope and relief
Knowing that never again will I suffer from grief

Happy to know nothing will truly make me sad
To know the truth and keep it to myself
It might seem a burden, but it's my treasure
Discovering mysteries is life's greatest pleasure

If I must grow, I have one wish
I want to always be like this
Living in the peace I've grown to love
A granted gift from heaven above

To know I am loved is enough
To love myself is even better
To ring out pain when it soaks me through
And let the sun shine down

I'm not scared of what will be
I know life comes and goes
I'm proud to know time ages with me
I wish to learn all there is to know

I want to open doors others have overlooked
I want them to see with newer eyes
I know in my heart that leaving
Never truly means goodbye

I move on with no regrets
Watching children put on shows
One day I will have my own
And watch God's miracles grow

For now, I love being me
The future knows no bounds
But if I let it fly too fast
I'll be 6 feet underground

So I'll continue as I have
My baby steps turned into leaps
I have all I need to have
I know my soul is free

I thank God each and every single day
For the life he's given me
Everyone parting ways
But I know that it must be
