Likutei Shirim

Everything I tried - flopped, And not for the lack of trying. All that ever started - already stopped, And now I'm sad and crying.

Me, myself, and I - Sitting around the table, Smiling across the table,   Feeling happy and high... We can go through life together, We can weather the storms together, We can solve all the problems together, We can make life easy as pie.

To swim and not to sink, Every day coming back from the brink. To continue climbing this slope, As if I haven't abandoned hope.

 I am here. I am not running away. I am available to live my life. The life that you gave me, Hashem. The life that you deem most fit. The life of pain, of emptiness, of struggle - And of hope. The life of talking to You every day. The life of holding Your hand throughout.

 I'm tired of flying, of dreaming, of waiting, I'm ready to land - somehow. And slowly start getting used to "earth" - Real life in the here-and- now. Finding strength and courage with every step, Feeling fresh, alert, and aware... Life is not up in Heaven, it's here on Earth, And Hashem is here, not there.

 It's spring, it's spring, it's finally spring! It puts a spring in your step. It's time to forget, to start over again, And to sing, and to dance, and to clap!
