when you can see the world in a grain of sand,
when you know who will hold your hand
and walk with you when your day is blue;
when you know whose arms will embrace you.
when you have loved without inhibitions or fear;
and lived in each moment year after year...
then you will know that you have lived and loved
when each wonderful smile you don’t forget
and you have lived a life without regrets;
when you can find lessons in every pain
and you know how to always count your gain;
even if the losses are more than your share
and still you constantly find it in your heart to care...
then you will know that you have lived and loved
when you look at the world with brand new eyes,
even if your heart is bursting with all your goodbyes;
when the load it seems is too hard to carry
and the rain pours heavily and you find no sanctuary;
but still you can see your smile reflected in another
and you look forward to each day that’s better...
then you will know that you have lived and loved
when you can embrace each hurt and sorrow
and still believe and hope in every tomorrow;
when you wake up each morning with love in your heart
and you know that every end has a brand new start;
when you can look back at everything in your life
and proudly say, smile and love have been full and rife...
then you will know that you have lived and loved
