Cool
When you laugh at your own mistakes
That's so cool.
When you have a heart that likes to help others,
That's so cool.
When you accept praise and criticism alike
That's so cool.
When you succeed by your own efforts
That's so cool.
When you don't take success to your head
and defeat to your heart
That's so cool.
When you don't let go of people you love
And let go of things you can't control.
That's so cool.
When you shine for your deeds
rather than your looks.
That's so cool.
When you are remembered
for what not you have
but for what you have accomplished
That's super cool.
You are my sun
You are my sun I am your moon
I set and rise with you
You are my sun
I replace and reflect your light all through the night
because of you
I glow and shine every night
I am your shadow
I exist and extinct with you for you are my sun
I am your moon
I set and rise with you
In You
In your eyes
I see my vision
In your heart I hear my beat
In your sleep
I see my dreams
In your world I envisage my thriving future
In your effervescent smile I found my lost treasure
In your mysterious silence
I read your incandescent message
In your each day I live my life
And in your life
I become immortal.
