When the time comes for wonder and delight,
Open your vacant eyes, from yesterday,
Take a deep breath, do not strain, do not fright.

Seeing is believing, even in light,
Let your mind open to a fresh new day,
Let your eyes shine bright, from this new insight.

Do not cry, or feel like you are dead-weight,
You are strong, they will move out of your way,
Take deep breaths, do not fight, you are alright.

You will be just right, body heals at night,
Do not blame events on some other day,
Let eyes shine bright, and glow in the skylight.

No where to run, no place to hide, insight
Cover eyes and ears, this is not horseplay,
Days darkest hour is not always at night

You, my fighter, are wound up very tight,
Stay calm and relax, do not shy away,
Take a deep breath, do not strain, do not fright,
Let your eyes shine bright, from this new insight.
