On a bright and beautiful summer day,

Where sunlight chases darkness away

I look up to the sky and say

"What a marvelous day to be alive!"

As down my path I slowly walk,

As to the dirt I gently talk

Of love and hate, of war and peace,

And castings of our human strife.

So solemnly, it pays me heed,

The same as though I were a seed,

And in its berth I lie in wait

To one day reach up to the sky.

I spill my heart upon the ground.

My burden drops without a sound.

Now free of self-wrought hindrance

I stand up tall

I cease my stride

My hands reach with splayed fingers

towards the clouds,

Feet rooted firmly to the ground

And as my skin soaks in the sun, I say,

"What a marvelous day to be alive! "
