"I remember myself lithe and full of life,
the memory grown dim, through stress and strife.
Once I danced and ran and lept so free
Where have I gone? Who's this I now see?
Whose image in the glass now gazes back with sorrow?
Oh be not sad! Oh fear not for tomorrow!
I shall not let another day go by
with hopelessness, and only sigh.
No! This apathy of mine shall be no more!
Today, I choose a different door,
one that leads me back to my true self,
I will not waste my life upon some shelf.
Come with me friends, within this place,
take one another's hand, and brighten each face.
Be not alone, here find support and care
as together we talk, cry, laugh, and share!
O, temple, I do apologize from my very heart
Now then, begins my fresh new start.
Bright and shining once more I shall be!
Now I am reclaiming me!" |
