I have been there where she is
  
    Since I've loved and lost and lived
  
    Made and birthed and raised the kids
  
    Still have dreams 
  
    Life has changed my heart and mind
  
    My body has worn in time
  
    I can see and feel your eyes 
  
    Wandering
  
  
    I will not compete with a younger me
  
    What is underneith is divine
  
    You get what you see, full transparency 
  
    Trying to avoid the knife 
  
    What is at the core 
  
    Of what you're longong for?
  
  
    Some are trying to relive 
  
    Glory days without the stress
  
    Finally we have the give
  
    For the take
  
    There's a world I want to see
  
    Will you share it all with me?
  
    Continue learning, growing
  
    Please don't trade
  
  
    I will not compete with a younger me
  
    What is underneith is divine
  
    You get what you see, full transparency 
  
    Trying to avoid the knife 
  
    What is at the core 
  
    Of what you're longong for?
  
  
    I'm conserving all my energy
  
    On what matters most in life
  
    All the pety and the surface things
  
    Will not steal away my time
  
  
    Live and laugh and breathe, share your thoughts and dreams
  
    With the ones who need your love
  
    More aware we grow and evolve to be
  
    At a higher consciousness 
  
    Getting to the core 
  
    Forward we explore
  
  
    We cannot go back
  
    Onward and upward 
  
    Let go of regret
  
    Value and worth
  
    Insight and presence
  
    Peace in the knowing
  
    Sharing and giving
  
    All that we've learned
  
  
    Getting to the core
  
    Of what we're longing for
