The Missing Link

I was born under happy stars,

With a keen sense of wonder,

And great expectations

Which has never left me

And with no exaggerated notion

Hope I have shared the common lot, and

Have found it good enough for me

If I had my life to live over again,

And had my choice of celestial bodies,

I am sure I should take this life

And I should choose these men

And women for my friends

This great rolling sphere with its sky,

Its stars, its sunrises and sunsets,

And with its outlook into infinity

What could be more desirable?

What's more satisfying?

To only be with you now
