This Is What You Are

This is
What you are
This is who you are
This is why
You are

To be happy with the things
You spent your time to do
To accept reality
For all
That you will never do
To feel the joy and sorrow
To know their tender heart
To be of use to others
To share your tender heart

This is
What you are
This is who you are
This is why
You are

To understand that others
See from their own point of view
To understand and see
From another's point of view
To reach out and to touch
Forgoing your own need
To be there at the time
Of another in such need

This is
What you are
This is who you are
This is why
You are

To be willing
To be humbled
Because of what they say
To stand for your beliefs
In spite of what they say
To know, respect and understand
The limits of your dream
To fear not the challenge
But the purpose of your dream

This is
What you are
This is who you are
This is why
You are

To be
Able to be sorry
When you've wronged another's heart
To be able to forgive
When someone else has wronged your heart
To see
Another's gift
Without you needing to be loved
To share your gift with others
To love and to be loved

This is
What you are
This is who you are
This is why
You are

Hey, This is
What you are
This is who you are
This is why
You are
