there are things important things small things wild things big dreams you ought to run at

there are a million ways to use your time a million ways to waste your time and mine how will we spend it?

there are fights to be fought sorrys to be said thank yous to give helping hands to hold hugs to have friends to meet dances to dance walks to walk smiles to shine prayers to speak

will I listen with an open heart will I eat with gratitude will I live with gumption

child of God, you and I have been given this gift of life to spend as we wish

oh the world will define far too much of it

but we must for grace's sake try to live with a glimmer in our eyes with a spring in our step with a song to sing with the Spirit breathing

(thinking about Ecclesiastes and Galatians 5:16-26)
