Colombia

Today, a day like any other,
The sun is beating strong,
And all the while it’s rays are sharp,
And key the notes to song,

Rhythmic, and of dance divine,
Of laughter, and of joy,
The truth is that the all that is,
Is given without to toy

Away at this game called life,
So that we can see,
And really thus begin to look
Upon our lives, so free,

As a wondrous gift from Heaven,
As a chance to be ourselves,
These rays of hope are cast before,
To pierce our inner selves.
