You Will Know

When the time comes for you to move
To hold loosely onto things
That you once tried to hard to prove
At once, you will grow new wings.
…
When the time comes for you to see
To separate foolish from wise
So that the latter you will be
At once, you will grow new eyes.
…
When the time comes for you to give
To follow through with all your plans
And hold the dream you’d die to live
At once, you will grow new hands.
…
When it is time for you to hope
That all real love somewhere must start
You need not question how to cope;
At once, you’ll have a new heart.
…
When it is time for you to trust
To allow yourself to let go
Of all that is past, and you must,
You will be new… and you will know.
