"The inward warmth of a welcoming smile"

Forward and Free What a joy it is as a joy it was No matter how long nor far we have come None can resist the effect of its cause As the wheel of life turns forward and free To be gotten is to be understood All the begotten seek to be gotten To get someone and have someone get me As we would all be gotten if we could A joy it will be to feel and to see The inward warmth of a welcoming smile To get someone and to be having some Human propinquity well worth my while To risk everything for the ecstasy The circle closes as I understand That someone is seeking to get to know Me as I know and gets me even so The circle completes as you take my hand Which seemed impossible not long ago When our hearts were watches wrapped in cotton A joy it is and was as it will be To be gotten and not be forgotten As we would all be gotten if we could Begotten and gotten and understood To get someone and have someone get me The circle closing as I understand And then completing as you take my hand None can resist the effect of its cause As the wheel of life turns forward and free +Steven Curtis Lance Copyright MMIX
