I want to weigh hundreds of smiles, Thousands of laughs, And the weight of many miles Traveled across oceans and seas. I want to weigh the seasons And feel their heat and feel their cold, Spring’s biggest blooms
And Autumn’s brightest leaves. I want to weigh a million words That tell tons of stories Messages that need to be heard, And prayers stronger than worries. I want to weigh every unit of energy That goes into every day, And every day that builds my life. I want to say goodbye, entirely, To the gap between my present and past. I want to weigh the look you give me That is filled with understanding and love. I want to weigh more than any scale Can ever see, My own beautiful, immeasurable history.

I absolutely love this. Especially the first 2 lines. I’m going to put this up in places where I can see it so when the ED voice is loud I can refocus. Thank you.
