That we are given br Are not ours to keep br All we get is the moment br A minnow of time to borrow br And soak up sunshine days br Birdsong gifts of stormy winds br And the thunder in our hearts br br Having felt the wonder of irony br And reflected hard on my life br I say let the tears fall like raindrops br Drenching the soul cleansing br That awful sad gasp of growth br And pain each and every daybr br Jeffrey SpahrSummersbr br
