here i am, among the perfection of wonders
the magical creation of nature that forever lingers
beauty was there laid to admire with adoring eyes
flowers bloom gracefully with fluttering butterflies

here i am, to breathe the refreshing air today
never knowing if tomorrow i could still stay
be a child… roam around, dance and play
enjoy the warm embrace of the sun all day

while the glittering horizon awaits far beyond
to set my footprints on its earthen sand
will there be another beauty that’s waiting for me?
all that is more than the wonders i now see

this must be a haven of time in endlessness
where everything stops only for a new beginning
a reality of perfection and imperfection in countlessness
beyond the yellow haze, the circle of life’s true meaning
