1 To each of us our day is given 2 With the rising of the Sun, our own star rises, soaring to its zenith in the vastness of the sky 3 We are held aloft by the light of God, as the moons reflect the light of the Sun 4 As we too fall, as does the moon, the stars, the rain, the bones 5 As all things fall - so, do not weep 6 For the leaves that fall from the trees in winter, are raised in the crops of spring 7 For the child that dies in the womb, quickens in the eternity of Heaven 8 For the sickening of the body, is but the descent of the moon 9 For the battlefields soaked with blood will fade and be forgotten 10 For the stones which were once a mountain are skipped along a lake 11 For that lake flows through weary rivers and ends in the sea 12 For the waves of that sea will seek shores that we will never see 13 For what seems an ending is but the beginning in God's eyes 14 Weep only for our blindness, and seek the acceptance of the flower 15 Which has the grace to bloom in the beauty God has given it, and the grace to surrender its beauty to the frost 16 Trusting in the fate that God has given it 17 And knowing the truth of these words: all things, in time 18 And all things change
