By chance or fate or providence,
The truth of life made
clear.
We design our circumstance,
We create the fear.
Whispered through eternity,
We do not take our turn.
Paralyzed by uncertainty,
Why do we never learn?
No trust have we in the wave of change,
That things, tho uncertain,
are renewed.
The breath of life it could bestow,
Untaken, like hostel Gayle
viewed.
This lifeless shell, that’s left,
Tosses, helpless, in the
waves.
Our soul alone in the depths,
And for rescue does it pray.
Virtuous truth of all the ages,
Written in the children’s
faces.
We live inside monotony
With unkept promises, broken
graces
Robs us of our life, our soul,
We hide behind regret.
Oh that we could be like thee
And all the rules forget.
To grab and take because we want
To never fear a thing
Let our souls like children run,
Live to laugh and play and sing
