in the middle

day by day, slowly and steadily,

we fill up our life -

with joy and with sorrow,

with success and with failure.

 

day by day, slowly and steadily,

we burrow our way to the middle -

there to be close and comfortable

with our responsibilities.

 

day by day, slowly and steadily,

we give more than we have -

reach further than we did before,

understand more than we did before.

 

it is by following our heart,

we find our soul refilled with love and hope.
