"Inspired by your freedom I too break free / Loving forgiving life is worth living"
An Opening Flower
What is it about you inspires me so Making me feel like an opening flower?
I thought I was grown but you make me grow As I taste your life I share in your power You fill me with the essence of your youth Which is nothing more nor less than the truth Of life the vessel of vitality
Yet only when you yourself have grown old Will you understand what you mean to me How you are my warm shelter from the cold Breath of death as you laugh mortality Back into the shadows where it must wait
My beautiful girl bright daughter of fate You bring me into light where I can see Life is worth living loving forgiving Inspired by your freedom I too break free Loving forgiving life is worth living
As I taste your life I share in your power Making me feel like an opening flower
