CELEBRATION
Rain wash me clean on this day
Lead me to a childhood, wonderland of dreams
Where dawn conveyed, brightened sunny rays of hope;
And fresh spring shower's, sparkled on fields of green
Light up a heart once
Rain seize the place of all tears
Spare its indulgence and humiliation
Let their meaning become as freshness, a beginning
No more burden prior to the falling, no more melancholy
Only the freshness of a brand new day
Make it rain clean -- fresh
We've drank the glass of sour wine, in expectation of devotion
Now, lady of love -- keeper of the lamp, pray grant us respect;
Honoring us courageous and resilient beings
Let us not be refuted ever again
Leave us to stand proud, with the rain on our face
Not as used, worn out clothes, to be discarded
Or flowers thrown into the trash, but as marvels of nature's wonders
….. as butterflies springing from their chrysalis
Free in the wind,
time to celebrate life, it's time to fly
