this precious, precious thing

this precious, precious thing
how light it is
how heavy it can be

this precious, precious thing
how dark it is
how hard it can be

this precious, precious thing
how forgiving it is
how horrible it can be

this precious, precious thing
how joyful it is
how dreadful it can be

this precious, precious thing
how beautiful it is
how ugly it can be

this precious, precious thing
you wounder what it might be
for it is life

life of our world
the animals
the plants
the people

cannot have beauty without tragedy
cannot have success without failure

this precious, precious thing
