Beautiful Sincerity
by Michael Doyle

Not to be overly mushy or lame,
But the God of a trillion stars knows my name.
My name may never go down in history,
But I rest assured that my God knows my destiny.

Each of us is a star that shines
As we waltz past our emotional landmines.
Love's secret is one that must be told.
We can't keep silent as it casually unfolds.

We get to know our meandering emotions,
Caught up in our sacred causes and devotion.
There's a lot of seriousness in our hilarity,
But none so beautiful as our sincerity.

Life in love feels so much more than good.
It's just the way it is, and it's understood.
There's something magical in the thousand ways
That love improves our lives through all our days.

Coming back to earth is its own conundrum,
With all of our parts greater than their sum.
God calls our names in an enchanting sound
As we get lost in the magic that we've found.

We get to know our meandering emotions,
Caught up in our sacred causes and devotion.
There's a lot of seriousness in our hilarity,
But none so beautiful as our sincerity.

Every moment lived is lived like a new song
When we finally know where we belong.
Moment after moment, lived in a held hand,
These are the heartbeats we're born to understand.

We are lifted higher by our innate desires.
We walk across the coals without burning in the fire.
None of this can be known with exactitude,
But it's handled best through God's grace and our gratitude.
