For the Love of It

For the love of it, I greet the dawn;

For the love of it, I carry on;

For the love of it, I sing a song;

For the love of it, my day is long.

For the love of it, I write these poems;

For the love of it, I wandered far;

For the love of it, I dismiss bad omens;

For the love of it, catch a star in a jar.

For the love of it, I cherish life;

for the love of it, I heal others' strife;

for the love of it, there are no bounds;

for the love of it, strange as that sounds.

For the love of it, I will live life long;

For the love of it, my novels grow strong;

for the love of it, I'm where you belong;

for the hell of it, I'll take you along.

Hitchhike with me and you can't go wrong.
