For every leaf that falls, another grows.
How many leaves will fall, nobody knows.
Each blade of grass, each budding flower
Holds a kind of special power.

Life! The force that animates
Gives to all of nature its vibrant states.
It courses through each tiny cell.
A feeling that you know so well.

For through you does it also flow
It gives to you a vibrant glow.
And when a body loses life, you instantly can see-
The changes happen instantly.

Life is spirit – the driving force
That causes your blood through your veins to course.
Your arms and legs it does animate
And causes every breath you take.

Know this and may it bring you peace
May you thus your fears release:
Life is eternal; it never dies
Long after you last close your eyes.
