For Now I Am

My very first pain here

away from mothers pure warmth

cry for now then laugh

Laugh as colors blow

round in circles of free hope

Laugh for now then grow

Grow into myself

spread wide my fledgling wings

Grow for now then live

Live with the bright day

create, love, know, explore, exist

Live for now then die

Die at last in peace

I return to mothers warmth

Die for now, don't cry
