How thankful I am.   For the youthful, beautiful, yet melancholy past.How happy am I,  For the tranquil, fresh, and blissful days of today.How anxious am I  To live the unknown, joyful and eternal life of the future.Desperately in the past I sought,  Never realizing  You have always been with me.Having realized, and found You,  Now I pray,  Let me  Become You!
