(Originally from 1976 – revised)
.
We can’t be held down,
we’re a ball bouncing back,
an unsinkable raft,
a bowl that won’t crack.
We can never be slain,
our core’s made of steel,
wherever we’re punctured
we readily heal.
Trample on us
and we’ll spring back to life,
we cut to the truth
like an ever-sharp knife.
We’re a magical candle
that never stops burning,
a wise inner child
who never stops learning.
Knock on our window’s
unbreakable glass,
mow us down, we’ll grow back
like invincible grass.
Light as a bubble
we can’t be detained,
we’ll rise towards the light
and ever remain.
