Awake anew my friend My prayers to you I send God’s will you cannot bend My hand to you I lend Don’t you comprehend? There is no way to end This you can’t pretend So much there is to see Please join in dance with me Our spirits fill with glee As we open to the sea Of many a possibility Our feet become the roots of our friendship tree All irreplaceable things in life are free I know you cannot lie Your heart won’t let you try Great spirits never die It’s okay to cry Cascading tears for you I dry Someone’s love you cannot buy Exhale this truth with a hearty sigh Did my words register this time? So much can be achieved with a rhyme Delicious bushels of rosemary, sage, lavender and thyme Filling our senses with beauty not grime When your life is near it’s prime Your soul comes in to chime Life’s journey is about the climb
