Celebrate Life

Dance along the seashore
Sleep beneath the stars
Your heart shall be an open door
No matter where you are

Your voice is like a waterfall
Your laughter, how it flows
And love is precious, after all
Blooming like a rose

Stop and smell the ocean breeze
As you gather shells and jade
Then seek out eucalyptus trees
And sojourn in their shade

Build a bonfire on the beach
And dream awake all night
Till stars and flames fade out of reach
Replaced by morning’s light

Don’t let burdens break your wings
And keep your halo shined
For Heaven’s made of all the things
We strive on earth to find

Love and laughter, faith and friends
Happiness and home
And hope this feeling never ends
Unlike this humble poem.
