There are days when
bubbling from us comes
the innocent child within
who giggles at the little things
and wears a silly grin
There are days when
melancholy comes to
visit for a while;
the mind feels tired, the body weak
we have no strength to smile
There are days when
joy abundant
grabs a hold of you and me
wraps us up in all it's splendor
lifts us up and sets us free
There are days when
sorrow wraps us
in its cloak of grief and fear
'till our hearts ache to the breaking
'till our eyes can't shed a tear
There are days when
love bestows us
with its wonderment and light
with its beauty and its mystery
its power and its might.
And there are days when
life rewards us
and seems to make amends
by granting us a marvelous gift
the precious gift of Friends
