MAGIC

And the magic is in the spirit conveyed through all of time!
Though space and age separate the now from what’s behind
it carries on eternally from dawn of man till now
and settles like a teardrop upon our wrinkled brow.

While we revel in the newness of all that’s passed before,
we seek relief in sameness that we have e’r foreswore.
Our souls will cry with happiness as our heart and minds perceive
the awareness and the knowing that time will not deceive.

Grasp that magic feeling and let it stay with you,
and revel in its freshness; let it have the power to renew.
Soon all will be done forever and today we’ll never grieve
if we all accept tomorrow as our Lord means it to be.
