It will surprise you

naturememorytimeidentitymortality

It will surprise you

A truth made easy

Simple is the way

To please

Nothing too complicated

The soul is enriched

By honesty

And endeavour

Is a watchword

To remember

Let me help

I will carry what I can

Even as the wind blows

We stand together

Take my hand

Come with me to the well

We can drink

To quench our thirst

Cool fevered skin

Fill a canteen

To sip along the way

It is an easier travel

If we are prepared

To navigate

The lean times

That lie around the corner

With help

From one another

We are one blood

Together we stumble

Some might even fall

But there will

Be survivors

We are every one of us

Good at being human

After all.
