there are things I’ll never do
and things I’d like to try
things that fill me up with joy
and things that make me cry

there are things that wake me
in the middle of the night
that shake my deepest nature
and that fill me up with fright

there are things so beautiful
they make me want to cry
and there are things so empty
that I truly want to die

there are things of meaning
and there are things of worth
and there are things I’ll never know
and things not of this earth

they fill the world with wonder
and they fill the world with strife
but one thing is for certain
these things make it “life”
