Let us sing the old, old song Of the Love that’s freely given Starbursts glitter! Infinite Mind’s Regalia of joy we live in Raindrops within raindrops Indestructible ties are binding Memories returning through The darkened mist that shrouds them Clawing your way up From beneath the mire of ruin Destined to be at one with…
