Word of four letters, simple and short,
Starts to mean when someone is born.
Word of four letters, different for each,
Treasured and valued, every second of it.
For me it is sunshine, mornings and books,
Finding the meanings, destiny’s loops.
Choosing and caring, pleasure to breathe,
Mommy’s embarrassing, hope and belief.
Laughing of sister, remembering the King,
Music and singing, the joy that it brings.
‘Life’ is that word, simple and short,
Blessing and wonder, so priceless and gold.
