I’d love to one day sit And look out from my balcony With the contented joy Of someone greeting the entire world Welcome, happiness Welcome, sadness Welcome, unexpected guest Let me make you some tea I know we are all here for a minute And I know that to enjoy this minute I should do well to welcome it fully And let it be what it is So I can be what I am Just this minute I am welcoming a desire To one day look from the balcony And be content And in this minute I am noticing How fortunate it is To still be able to look at all And I am content
