Sic Vita

By William Stanley Braithwaite

1878-1962

Heart free, hand free,
         Blue above, brown under,
All the world to me
         Is a place of wonder.
Sun shine, moon shine,
         Stars, and winds a-blowing,
All into this heart of mine
         Flowing, flowing, flowing!

Mind free, step free,
         Days to follow after,
Joys of life sold to me
         For the price of laughter.
Girl's love, man's love,
         Love of work and duty,
Just a will of God's to prove
         Beauty, beauty, beauty!
