I have lived a full life,
Brimming with beauty,
Overflowing with adventure.
I have seen the Arno,
Draped in fire and light.
I have sailed into the burning sea
And felt it's heat from mountaintops.
I have seen heavenly waters,
So distant and close.
I have watched Apollo fly arrows
Back at his huntress twin.
Yet none of these can compare
To the glint in my true loves eyes.
In it I see my past all at once
And our future sprawled ahead.

I have lived a full life,
Brimming with beauty,
Overflowing with adventure.
I have seen the Arno,
Draped in fire and light.
I have sailed into the burning sea
And felt it's heat from mountaintops.
I have seen heavenly waters,
So distant and close.
I have watched Apollo fly arrows
Back at his huntress twin.
Yet none of these can compare
To the glint in my true loves eyes.
In it I see my past all at once
And our future sprawled ahead.
