Some writers, from six to sixty are prolific
Everything they write is neat, perfect, terrific
The rest of us just write, and write, and write
Day after day, and night after night, no end in sight
Our thoughts are loose and tangled, never pulled tight
Our words don't match our thoughts, something jars, not quite right
But we live in hope, like sinking boats wait for rope
We all search for a saying which will help us cope
That after struggling day after day, after night
With words we should rewrite - or maybe throw away!
One day, one wise phrase, will, unaided, climb outside
One magic phrase to be a source of lifelong pride
One little phrase will make our life's work justified
That magic phrase will brighten up the darkest day
Lighten up the sky and help all who come our way
Make them shake hands and say our whole life's justified
Our words have driven all troubles and cares away
And made our whole bright life on earth seem justified
Like a Mexican wave, like floodlights in a cave
Like a ripple which grows, like a candle which glows
Like a green tree which blows, like a perfumed, pink rose
Like white waves on blue sea, like two friends who agree
Like black swans on a lake, like a rising nut cake
Like red yachts with white sails, like dogs wagging long tails

Like a mother's kiss makes toddlers bruises better
Like an apology, when you have upset her
Like when a girlfriend phones, just go round and get her
Like carrying umbrellas guarantees good weather
Like you calling for tea, like you smiling at me
One thought which climbs outside, makes your life justified
One phrase helps outside, makes hearers feel justified
One word flows outside, heals and makes all justified.
