When life touches us we are but a fragile creature
The wind and the rain fall upon us and we shrivel away
An illness sanctifies us being alive
And the drudge of work every day
Keeps us from going into that forgotten land
Our hearts rise and fall at each mercurial change
O! For the gladness of winning
O! For the sadness of losing
A birth brings the smile of a Cheshire cat grin
While the death of a loved one hurts to the very core
The sun shines and strength appears
Vigor we had almost once forgotten
The moon and the stars shine brightly
Wild flowers in the hedgerows burst forth in gentle bloom
With a fragrance that fills our senses
To see the sea in all its outrageous glory
The power and the strength
And to know the life that lives within it
Full, so full of wondrous creatures
A beautiful and natural world.
