Grow up flower child and be happy, happiness like diamond
In beauty that is good, fair, exquisite, comforting, calm and clear
And even when now and then along life's pathway ups and downs
This joy breaks in million pieces, shattered, scattered far and near
You shall see the shinning fragments fall
Back to you in so many pieces that no one can ever catch them all
And yet in spite, be wise and balance in your journey ever
Treasure every fragment of pleasure joy beyond any measure dim or clear
Build your happiness from pieces that consolidate, convert back to you together
Imagining our shattered world, learning, accepting to be ever thankful and clever
Through whatever life bestows upon us, as the share of happiness small
For it has so many pieces that no one can catch them all
For it is in our wisdom to grow, to love, to live
And take what fate, God or life may us give
While we ask and draw our prayer and question our goals or flow
We grow to have, to hold and in time to relax the grasp and let go
