There is a heart that wells inside of me
And wonders where our lives may chance to be
What miracles will happen as we grow
What chips and cracks with time begin to show ?
How will we age and do our level best
To please our God and pass His greatness test,
What we do now decides what we’ll become
Fraud, hero, student, scholar, wiseman, bum !
My thoughts do turn to silly things
Like hugs and kisses and brass rings
Like elephants and tiger eyes
A world chock full of wild surprise
A heart that’s packed with joy and peace
And music that will never cease.
Ballet shoes made of satin white
That keep on dancing through the night,
The love of God and angels sweet
Who choose to walk with unclad feet
Chocolates and marshmallows too
To help our sweetest dreams come true !
