Life is a song we must sing with our days A poem with meaning more than words can say A painting with colors no rainbow can tell A lyric that rhymes either Heaven or Hell We are living letters that doubt desecrates We're the notes of the song of the chorus of faith God shapes every second of our little lives And minds every minute as the universe waits by The pain and the longing The joy and the moments of light Are the rhythm and rhyme The free verse of the poem of life So look in the mirror and pray for the grace To tear off the mask, see the art of your face And open your ear lids to hear the sweet song Of each moment that passes and pray to prolong Your time in the ball of the dance of your days Your canvas of colors of moments ablaze With all that is holy With the joy and the strife With the rhythm and rhyme of the poem of your life
