The life force pads,
It skips, it trips,
Finding its way
Throughout the day,
Without me.
It floats, it sings,
It walks on springs;
It’s always there,
Without a care,
Without me.
Finding spice—
No cares,
No vice,
Dreams abound,
Without me.
It’s hard to tell
What’s on its mind;
It ducks and dives,
It thrives and lives,
Without me.
A simple shadow
On the wall—
It has its plans,
Its schemes, its scams,
Without me.
