With all of the world
In it's joy and it's grief,
My world is all that I feel
In it's joy and it's grief,
Of love's discovery
In one so sweet.
And knowing it's not mine
Forever to keep.
But what there is of
This wonderful world,
I will hold for as long
As it's sweet.
To do less would be
A coward's unending regret.
There will be no excuses
Or question of intent,
For I give it my all
And all is what's best.
(9.13.7 Inner Thoughts)
