My heart is filled with jubilation A song I sing of praise and thanks Never suspecting, not really looking Surprised by unexpected joy So many dreary days have passed Each one monotonous as the last I'd given up on finding you I turned around and then I knew The shooting stars lit up the sky The clouds were passing by like trains It happened with the speed of light I know I'll never be the same I've pushed aside second-guessing I'll take each day as it comes And smile each night as we continue To live in unexpected joy Pepper "A poem is the very image of life expressed in its eternal truth."
