The world is beautiful,
Life is fine.
The world is frightening,
And life is unkind.
...
As I stand here in the chapel
Praying for God to grant you His peace,
A deluge of questions rains down,
But the answers provide no relief.
...
People we love are a lot like flowers,
And we are the gardeners who reside.
We get to choose which flowers
Are the centerpieces of our lives.
...
Do you know what I remember
About that final, fateful day?
I recall how blue the sky was
As I watched you walk away.
...
How many ticks does He permit?
How many beats does one heart hold?
How many spring showers will I see?
...
If the moon and the sun waged a war,
Who would win? The moon, I'm sure.
The sun would fight face to face,
...
When the night refuses to relinquish the dawn,
Your love inspires me and makes me strong.
When heaven's breathe has turned harsh and cold,
...
Your most loyal lovers seem to
Loathe your most basic commands.
Your most faithful followers
Fail to meet your simplest demands.
...
The night; it beckons me,
And the wind; it calls my name.
The moon; it smiles at me,
But the stars confess their pain.
...
