Life Is Like a Maypole

I'll weave my thoughts into dreams of glory.
Just maybe I'll inspire with my story.

This journey long on a pebbled road.
Still the view makes light this uphill load.

Now I see skies of azure blue.
Plenty of beauty to see me through.

Come with me and promenade.
Step out from the gloomy shade.

We shall skip to a brand new beat.
No desolation or defeat.

Fingers of joy cascade from above.
A marvelous dance of genuine love!
