I am a lonely wanderer On my way towards death. I love the clarity of air Each time I take a breath. I love the friends who walk with me And then must go their way. I love the rose at dawn and dusk That celebrates each day. I love to laugh at all the things That do not know they're fun, And weep at all the things that wound And shrivel up the sun. I never saw my father's face And will not have a child, But even so, I share with you My joy, wind-whipped and wild.
