The world is burning
How did it get that way?
It’s always been that way
It doesn’t take the best out of us
Don’t think that way
It requires the best from us
How beautiful
That we can come together
And we can love
We can remain curious
And the earth
Space
Science
Our husbands and our wives
Will continue
To surprise us
We can even surprise ourselves
I think that’s worth it all
How far we’ve come
Why stop now ?
It’s one at a time
A little bit day by day
A new habit
A new way of seeing things
Cleaner air
Cleaner energy
Better cities
Better communities
Coming together
And for me
Writing better
Writing more
Staying positive
You don’t live your whole life in a day
It takes 24 hours at a time
And eventually you look back and you see how much you’ve changed
That’s life
So we will keep on
Little by little
Making this house
Better
For those after us
And a little better
For us now
The world may be burning
And we may be tossed back and forth
Tragedy to chaos
But we were built to last
Most of the time -not all – but most
The things we worry most about
Do not happen
No one saw the Soviet Union collapsing
But it did
Things change on a dime
In a single flight
Or taxi drive
Over coffee
Three text messages
A single moment
Heavy moments are bass to the score of life
Wrapped in regular moments
Keep on
Keep on
You are built to last
You are built to last
You have eternity inside your veins
The cosmos in your eyes
You may feel like your life is
changing casts and characters
But everyone brings something
To the table
Be proud of your something
Know
It’s yours
And no one
No one can play your part
Like you
You’re the only you
