Gluttony is a sin you say
To want more than you have, a crime
Be content with your life you say
Have patience and you shall be rewarded in time
…
But who is to say what’s more, what’s enough
Who’s to define what to want
Who can tell what you need
To survive, and then some…
…
If I want to smell the fragrance of the freshly moist earth
And spend the day laughing with friends in undiluted mirth
If I want to gaze at stars, trace patterns in the sky
And watch the sun brilliant hues with a painter’s brush apply
If I want to hold your hand, gaze into your eyes
And taste the nectar of your lips just one more time
If I want to trace my footprint along the music of the waves
And walk and dance and eat and sing and do whatever my heart craves
No hour, no day, no year is long enough
I am a glutton for life!
