I notice that we each have power
to be like sunshine,
to backlight spring leaves so they glow,
to sparkle and dance in treetops

We each have power
to light each other up,
and in so doing, to partake
of wondrous, radiant warmth

We’ll see it on the outside,
we’ll feel it all within,
we’ll generate enough illumination
to power up the world  –
let us begin!
