    Measure of Me

    Within the breast of each
    a human heart aspires to reach
    goodness
    greatness
    and some measure of glory.

    Hidden in the heart yearns
    a soul that long ago learns
    to accept fragility
    and some measure of folly.

    Deep within and hidden in the soul
    a consciousness stirs awake to the cold
    realization of insignificance
    and some measure of insecurity.

    Down in humanity's empty captivity
    a spirit-being belies the vanity
    of searching
    seeking
    for some measure of security
    with the longing that
    some person
    perhaps
    please
    might remember me.
