I am but half a man until I can give and want naught in return
Until I can receive and feel not responsibility for the gift
But the joy of the giver
I am but half a man until I have aspirations and goals
And but half a man until I know that I am achieved
Until I can stand in the sun's light and see not my shadow
And half a man until I'm not ashamed if my back is turned
I am but half a man until I can look forward to the sunrise
Instead of pulling down the shades
Until the day when I can rejoice in love's splendor and equally understand its pain
I shall be but half a man
Yet, in truth
I have been, am right now and forever will Be
A whole man
Full and complete
I just listen overmuch to the voice of fear and forget that
I Am
