No matter
however old or young
it’s all ahead of you
destiny is inspired
knowing you’ll sing

Best be working
on your theme song
make sure
that
you sing it true
make certain the lyrics are all
that they can be

Tender moments
followed
by grand notes
borrowed
from a chorus
sung long ago
a memory
dimly
responding
simply
plays well
fast or slow

If people
start hearing you
round the town
whistling
a braver tune
worries
tossed to the
side
like castaways

They’ll remark
to each other
listen closely
I’d rather
miss anything
other
than that

We can now end our day
in no more
satisfied way
’cause its made all
our hearts
so
very glad.
