Life Worth Living
A leaf falls to gently to kiss the ground
A newborn baby's wail
The dove of peace flies smoothly past
The smell of new mown grass
Damp earth with first rain drops
A lover's kiss with deep embrace
Rainbow arching across the sky
Red setting of the sun
Ocean breeze, damp salt air
Flowers, colours all in bloom
Heavy fruit ripe on the trees
Children's laughter.....echoing
Joyous singing, rising high
This makes life worth living
A newborn baby's wail
The dove of peace flies smoothly past
The smell of new mown grass
Damp earth with first rain drops
A lover's kiss with deep embrace
Rainbow arching across the sky
Red setting of the sun
Ocean breeze, damp salt air
Flowers, colours all in bloom
Heavy fruit ripe on the trees
Children's laughter.....echoing
Joyous singing, rising high
This makes life worth living
