Analysis of To only Rise

Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)



To only rise without inhibition
To fear no foe or evil mission
To only see the best in others
To be more than that discovered
To count each day as a win
To live life like more love could begin
To find fate softer with every grin
To taste each hunger stemmed from within
To love more now than you ever did
To appreciate the skies with the move of an eyelid
To sing sweeter verses in lighter tones
To meet greater thought when all alone
To dance with a Goddess like you've never known
To build such glories yet to exist
To feel each lip as if never kissed
To write deeper words than those sadly missed
To create God himself and each moment that he lived
