The Pledge

I stand and stare out at the world
As darkness takes its final breath
And light seeps round the edge
I revel in the quiet grace
And here I make my pledge

I shall not live this life of mine
In worried thoughts and sad regrets
Of things I have not done
But turn my face up to the dawn
And glory in the sun

Tho' while it's true that I may have
A shorter time upon this earth
Than ever I can tell
It shan't be said that I have gone
Without that I lived well
