The Reason

I’ve felt the joy in sharing
I’ve felt the happiness in caring
I’ve felt the warmth of a smile
I’ve felt the innocence in a child

I’ve understood the meaning of sacrifice
I’ve understood the essence of forgiveness
I’ve understood the importance of being loved
I’ve understood the meaning of being kind

I’ve known how to be good
I’ve known how to be just
I’ve known how to spread happiness
I’ve known how to wipe away tears

I’ve learnt to help people in need
I’ve learnt to do everyday one good deed
I’ve learnt to win for no gain
I’ve learnt to laugh when in pain

And there’s only one reason for whatever I do
The Reason is YOU!

I wrote this poem after listening to the song “The Reason“by Hoobastank. I quote the following lines from this song; to all my friends

“And I just wanted you to know
Found out reason for me
To change the way I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is YOU!”
