When You Are Loved

 When you are loved it opens up your eyes;

 You see the world much different than before;

 The rainbow's arc is brighter in the skies,

 And waves are warmly lapping at the shore.

 The children laugh and music fills the air;

 You walk the wood and creatures call your name;

 You feel the wind that brushes through your hair

 And know that life has made it all a game.

 The serious stuff is suddenly made light;

 Rejoicing comes upon the least of it;

 It matters not that it be day or night,

 It's good and you can make a feast of it.

 You have a bounce when walking down the street,

 And people know you're happier by far;

 For sure you dream while floating off your feet,

 And now that dream is on some distant star.

 You may be late in doing certain things -

 Forgetfulness inherent to your phase -,

 But when you're loved your heart forever sings,

 And that's as sure as ever were your days.
