Life Is Good
Life is good and serene I sit,
For I never need to question it;
There's much I know that's odd no doubt,
But nature knows what it's all about.
Could things be different than they are
When all's in place from stone to star?
With thistledown that dips and flies,
On the wind with butterflies.
We try to feel the cosmic touch,
And know that we don't matter much;
A million stars up in the sky,
A million planets fall and die;
A million lives created you,
A million more have died for you.
Immortal we spend eternity,
With other lives we never see.
But sad to say, don't blindly grope,
For lives we live beyond our hope;
With never death but ever change,
Eternal walk on earth to range.
With sorry lives we tell to all,
Of life's amazing carnival.
Just live the life that in you lies,
With love for life that never dies.
Life is good and serene I sit,
And loving every part of it;
I place my trust in my Father's plan,
And try to help Him all I can.
And in a million year or so,
We'll know more than today we know.
So I'm glad to come and take my place,
To hold hands with you and run the race.
