In spite of lack and loses
The pounding pains of privation
Even as danger and disease afflict
Or failure and fear assail
Never forget to celebrate today
If the future becomes bleak
And the sun goes down suddenly
When the dream flies away
Self-pity and condemnation conspire
The heart struggles against burdens
All comfort flee and fizzle away
Insecurity and instability assail
As persecuting pressures press
Life degenerates and disintegrate
Still celebrate today
Celebrate the spark of light
Celebrate the gift of life
Celebrate the freedom of nature
Discover something to celebrate.
