Life goes only as far as you take it.

Who could have thought

That my happiness

Could be

    Would be

         Should be

So dependent upon your actions.

Like the glow of the moon,

Cannot exist without the sun.

Who would have thought,

Looking back now,

How much of an impact you

Could be

    Would be

         Should be

On my own life,

In the same way that

God

Impacts the faithful,

Or the non.

Who should have thought,

Such a simple setting,

Could be

    Would be

         Should become

The extravagance it is now,

Like the caterpillar,

Innocent, sincere, deserving

Of its fate.

Who,

    but me.
