May this world bring a smile to your face

For the destinations we travel – and the places we roam
The celebrations we have – and the times we feel alone
To the beauty we experience – in natures many forms
And the yearning to break free – of our societal norms

To the happiness we feel – as we follow our hearts
The love we express – to all our seeming parts
To the depth of our knowing – and the universe beyond
As we join together – now that the new day has dawned

May this world bring a smile to your face
In gratitude, for all that we share
For now is our time, our moment to shine
And we aren’t going anywhere

Much love,
Mariame
