The music of life

in my veins

The beat

of my heart

The groove

of things to come

I will play my instrument well

I promise you that!

God, i will not

let you down

The life you give to me

every new day

How could i ever

repay

Not that i needed to

Not that you want me to

Not that you demand

anything at all

But me – yes! – i need

To make it all worthwhile

To breath your

air

To smell your

flowers

To see your

beauty

in all of your nature

But me – yes! – i need

To appreciate your

creatures

To gently touch

your creations

To caress

your wounded children

But me – yes! – i need

To give what

i have

To share what

i got

To repair what

i broke

To acknowledge what

i overlooked

To embrace what

i dismissed

And me – yes! yes! yes!

i need it mostly

To Love

Because

i guess

thats the way

to thank you

for life
