Our lives are but a flash of light Mere grains of sand on a well-worn shore A faint glimmer in the dark of night A faint sparkle in the light of day As tentatively we find our way By the grace of God our souls survive; forever to return To blunder forward in the night If you could live your life again What would you do different? Would I be in your waking dreams? Would you bear children, craft a cure, and benefit your fellow man? And live your life pristine and pure Or would you risk it all each day And live life on its ragged edge Without regard to consequences Regret not – the life you’ve led Drink deeply of its flavor
