A PLEA TO LIFE, by                    
First Line: Life - I am here at your bidding
Last Line: For I have won the fight.
Subject(s): Life


Life -- I am here at your bidding
With the power to do --
Yet, you look at me forbidding
Do I belittle you?

Life, it is years since first we met
Though time seems rushing by.
I would not cause you a regret
A tear or e'en a sigh.

You are so filled with joys to spare --
Hear my imploring quest:
That you with me will hence forbear
And thus my soul refresh.

Life, I see the shadows passing,
Your voice responds to call --
Fondest hopes I am caressing,
Wonderful after all.

Now, life's imbued with spirit new
Fuller days in sight
Miracles now come to view
For I have won the fight.
