i but not of myself

I exist.
Not only for myself
But for a reason
Greater than me and all the things I've held dear.
Be that reason.

That I let go of myself
But be embraced by you
That I lose my self
But be found in you
That I die to myself
But be borne of you.

Like it's the first time I opened my eyes
To the sunshine and to the rain
Both at the same time.

For this day
Above all days I've had
And all the days to come
I exist
Not only for myself
But for a reason
Greater than me and all the things I've believed in.
Be that reason.
