for the Laughing Daffodil Once I stood athwart history Screaming stop unwilling to be But that got not enough for me So I serve the masters no more Having known the disasters of Their inability to love And their ability to hate I have outgrown their cruelty I think therefore I am therefore I think I might as well welcome Now how it comes as I become Who I was meant to be though late Then to remember I forgot What love always remembers who I am that love is what to do And was although when I did not To keep the faith a leap of fate Thank God for curiosity Life over death by love made free Willing to be enough for me Now I have something to live for Then somehow I have someone too To love until I live no more When I will die in love with you +Steven Curtis Lance Copyright MMXIII
