Lightheartedness And Levity
Bearing in mind the brevity
from the womb to tomb
Lightheartedness and levity
should dispel the gloom
Bearing in mind the brevity
from the launch to end
Lightheartedness and levity
should allow the mend
Bearing in mind the brevity
from the birth to death
Lightheartedness and levity
should carry the breath
Bearing in mind the brevity
from the leap to land
Lightheartedness and levity
should offer the hand
Bearing in mind the brevity
from the start to stop
Lightheartedness and levity
should delay the drop
