Our lives begin imagining
While we are young and expanding
With dreams and hopes and something more
That waits outside the cottage door.
It’s then begins the fantasy
Of what we wish or plan to be
Who thinks that life will go astray
When we’ve just begun its first day ?
We stumble, fall and make mistakes
Learn to avoid most small heartbreaks
And travel on lifes busy road
With someone who helps share our load.
How grateful that our lives might be
If we should wed our destiny
To lifetime goals of peace and joy
And courage that we need employ
With love of God walk hand in hand
One day into the promised land.
