Hope is the cup that we reach for
faith is the hand that makes the movement
love is the aim the nectar flowing
here in a world the candles blowing

Light a candle in the darkest room
fly your kite or your balloon
let the child in you just live again
young at heart in summer rain

We can lose the simple things
we can lose the dreams and rainbows
though one needs reality
one must also learn to unwind

To busy to dream its easy to be like that
workaholics i was one of these
til a friend showed me how
to mark the meadow and see the trees

As they say stop and smell the roses
as they say catch the fragrance there
smell the coffee feel the silence
as the breeze touches your hair

Life is a journey reflections are there
let life be fun as well as real
for a workaholic can miss this
and i know as i was one
