Halleluiah
Everyone should be born into
this world happy
and loving everything.
But in truth it rarely works that
way.
For myself, I have spent my life clamoring toward it.
Halleluiah,
anyway I'm not where I started!
And have you too been
trudging like that, sometimes
almost forgetting how wondrous the world
is
and how miraculously kind some people can be?
And have you too decided
that probably nothing important
is ever easy?
Not, say, for the first
sixty years.
Halleluiah, I'm sixty now,
and even a little more,
and some days I feel I have wings.
