I'm gonna stay
just the way i am
quirky
and
kinky
and a little disconcerting
and not a soul
can inspire me to
change
i'm gonna do
what i have to do
diligently
and
firmly
and always with a smile
and not a soul
is going to distract me from
my goals
i'm gonna breathe
every breath as if it's my last
thankfully
and
gratefully
and always with a touch of joy
and not a trouble
is going to keep me from
my joy
i'm gonna wait
every moment an hour every hour a day
happily
and
patiently
and always with an expectant heart
and not a day
is going to go by
that i don't think of you
