Song of Life

Lady Time dance for me, let me have this glorious day,
Wrap the whole Universe in one small wish and let me say, 
I am here, I am here and it is good.

The bold and shameless winds beckon and hammer at my door,
Wolves and hounds of fear howl all night scaring me to the core,
They do not raise the grieving Moon in her sorrowful chore,
Or lift the treacherous Waves of terror in the sea for,
I am here, I am here and it is good.

To look deep into the blue sky, to smile at the green lawn,
To declare  the magic of life from the day you were born,
To sing I am here, I am here and it is good.
