Once In Every Life

Once in every life, there comes someone
Who opens the inner door and speaks to the heart and soul.
Who touches you so completely, so exquisitely,
Their sweet passing changes your life... forever.

In that one brief moment, that one person reminds you that,
Everything you have hoped for can be realized,
Everything you have dreamed of can come true,
Everything you have waited for Is now waiting for you.

The purpose of their coming and touching you so deeply,
Was not that you change them, or they change you.
But that you remember the gift that is you,
And the love you have to share.

Once in every life,
There comes someone so special,
Who gives you the gift of your freedom
And the courage to reach for who you are.
