CROSS MY HEART

I cross my heart and I really must say,
that I really would never ever have it any other way.
For you see it’s an eternal creed to me,
to cross my heart and really mean it to be.

I cross my heart and I pass it on to you,
in great faith and hope that you will learn it to.
To mean what you say, and say what you mean,
and never ever stretched the truth to the slightest extreme.

So cross your heart and say it to me,
that you will be true to yourself through eternity.
You will do what you say, and you will say what you mean.
That your promises you will always keep,
your will to God until He gives you eternal sleep.

So to cross your heart is a meaningful creed,
now that you have learned its sacred deed.
And if this promise ever comes around to you,
fear not to cross your heart and see it through.

FULL TIME VERSION OF MYSELF

I long to be a full-time version of myself,
I don’t want to pretend to be anyone else.
For finding who I am and being true to me,
means everything in the world to forever and infinity.

No longer will I take on someone else’s principles as mine,
I will learn by example, truth, faith, and love in what I find.
Crawling out of my old cocoon I will become a new butterfly,
one that soars high and mighty in truth, and will never ever lie.

All anew in principles, hope, and honesty that flies above,
I will grasp that new reflection in the mirror of myself, the Me that I love.
No longer will I while the anchors of the past that will bring me down,
as I am here in the NOW loving this minute and the next as to day comes around.

So whether at work, play, or out in the world, I am here to say,
I will not falter, be tempted to be someone else in any other way.
For I make this permanent declaration to me in my new world needing no help,
this time and forever I long to be a “full-time version of myself.”
