The Day Distilled

"The darkness awaits me, For there is no moon to see Just billions of stars, And all the planets, including Mars Are there to greet me, And insure my dreams agree My hopes be fulfilled, From this day distilled All that was special for me, And to dream more of it to see For the happiness I extract, Becomes my hearts contract To live with love to share, To those whom I especially care For it is in them I thrive, A dangerous world to survive To renew my spirit and fill it with hope, As I climb my mountains steep slope To conquer and achieve, My goals for me For only if I am strong, Will the world hear my song The sweet melody of my life, On which these stars shine their light"
