Earthly Joys
Earthly joys
were felt by this child at play,
let them still be yours today,
to remind you always....
that tomorrow is another day.
Earthly joys
spring forth from new wishes,
to explore another dimension
with a mind set in determination...
and should we hold them in our grasps?
Earthly joys
that made my childhood and yours
so exuberant, unable to obliterate them from memories,
sweeter than anything we can't offer or merely improvise...
why are they more lustrous than sun-rays?
Earthly joys
sustaining that hope that they will last,
to console us when aloness becomes death,
too real for our weakened breath...
retrace them, relive them until they pass.
