Longtime hid behind the mask
Imagined strips of clay
Hiding self and glory dim
Waiting for the day
Sleep awhile and wake with morn
Marvels wait within
Sleepy eyes behold new hope
Rising without sin
Dance around the fairy ring
Contra creed and faith
Till the magic portal makes
A passage to new grace
Emerge from windings tightly wrapped
On tender youthful mind
Open eyes behold the sun
And venture forth to fly
My Gifted Life
