Come celebrate with me
It’s a party – have a ball
It’s the most incredible thing
Cause for jubilee, one and all

This most amazing gift I’ve been given
So have you, my dear friend
A treasure straight from Heaven
Worth more than any wrought by man

It’s not new, it’s been ours
Yes we’ve had it from the start
And if we care for it most carefully
‘twill be a long time before we part

Listen . . . hear the music
The notes dance most divine
Mmmm – is that chocolate?
And vintage from the vine?

Ah, ‘tis rose breath that scents the air
And there – it’s vanilla that does tease
And the smell of you as you step close
Oh my – it does please

Feel the sway and motion
As muscle and sinew move
Play that funky music boy
Let’s slip into the groove

It’s a party – an occasion
A red letter day!
That such an amazing gift
Should have been sent our way

So jump, wiggle and shout
Cry out in revelry
Lift your arms and move about
Let’s celebrate you and me

For this gift, it costs no money
Though valued beyond measure
Yes- it is ours for free
This fantabulous treasure

See-
Hear-
Taste-
Touch-
Smell
Know-

We bear this treasure every day
I think sometimes we forget
Let’s celebrate our creation now
Our bodys, our beings, this most incredible gift

s.a.t.


If I wander far enough, long enough, will I finally know . . .

yes it is a precious gift to those who have it and even more when given to another who wasn't given the total gift of life

This piece made me feel like the first day of Spring Susan!!
All 'up' and ready to rock and roll.
Very well done and I so much enjoyed the feeling it left me with!

In the midst of winter,
I found there lives within me..
an invincible summer.
