"Reflection and Role: Past, Present and Future"

Responsibility Runs through My Blood 

Following Me like a Shadow.

New Freedom Bracingly Emerges 

Reflecting on the Luster of Younger Years 

When Fantasy was Song and Game.

My Time has Now Come 

To Be Strong in Presence,

True In Words Not Spoken,

A Recipient of Dreams Revealed, 

And Singer of Songs Not Sung by Tongue.

An Adamant Player in the Game of Life,

With Focus on the Hereafter

Balancing a Tantalizing Present

Looking with Insatiable Longing

Towards my Forever More.
