Even Though We Know it



We are lively wizards. We are lively elves.
Even though we know it we remind ourselves.

We have hills to conquer. We have hills to climb.
Even though we know it we recount our time.

We are always present. We are always there.
Even though we know it we restate our care.

We have lots of ocean. We have lots of sun.
Even though we know it we reward our fun.

We are fancy players. We are fancy free.
Even though we know it we repeat our glee.

We have aims that prosper. We have aims that fail.
Even though we know it we rewrite our tale.

We are happy campers. We are happy souls.
Even though we know it we retain our goals.

We have love forever. We have love for now.
Even though we know it we renew our vow.
