Lily Pad People

Lily Pad People

Upon this pond I call life,

With every lily pad we have been privy to share,

Bits of water in between,

A bit of blue,

We have lighted,

Upon the lily pad,

Eased,

We have stepped upon it,

We can dive anytime,

You,

Or,

I,

We are survivors,

We are survivors,

You and I,

Lily pad people,

And, divers, too!

Come on, baby.
