I love to write and sing these days

Always did like science too

And jumping round like a kangaroo

The simple life sounds fine to me

To watch the stars and flowers greet

To stand upon a sandy beach

And meet the tides beneath my feet

To see the sun set on mid horizon

And feel the wind blow cross my cheeks

I wonder now if this shall be

​

To speak and hear and know tis true

The beauty of the earth reigns nigh

The hills and trees and flowered glens

The rivers song beneath the bluffs

The triumph of a truth we trust

The rath of time, Beethoven’s bust

These things we take for granted now

Have passed beyond my wit and brow

And yet I hope to breath the air

To fly a kite, to lose despair

To pray and know that promise lives

Within our hearts within our kids
