My mind is saturated
with the pain of each day,
Yet my heart keeps beating
with the rhythm of love;
My eyes see the beauty
of mysteries unfolding,
Wondrous as if
from heaven above.
Unbowed when stung
by failure at first,
While my spirit keeps leaping,
gushing as ever;
My soul never slumbers;
only my body;
I dream while awake
sweet dreams of endeavor.
Between now and tomorrow
great bridges I cross,
Spanning the length
of my life on earth,
Towering o’er paths of
my freedom of movement,
Measured in terms of
its value and worth.
