One Sure Given (by Judy Kass)

Wise one on the water’s edge
Gazing at the traveler
Beckons her to come ashore
And stay a while beside her
She stays within the sight of land
And watches from a distance
And wonders how to stay the storm
And questions her resistance
And the one sure given that she holds
The only truth she knows for certain
This precious gift more dear than gold
This moment that she’s living
She lets herself drift to the shore
Sits beside the elder
Who reads the question in her eyes
And nods a silent answer
And the one sure given that she holds
The only truth she knows for certain
This precious gift more dear than gold
This moment that she’s living
She placed each thought that weighs her down
Like petals on the river
And watched them float away and far
To meet the sea’s forgiver
And the one sure given that she holds
The only truth she knows for certain
This precious gift more dear than gold
This moment that she's living
So, cherish every chance you get
To let your soul unburden
And meet your wise one on the shore
And leave behind you're worrying
For the one sure given that you'll hold
The only truth you'll know for certain
This precious gift more dear than gold
This moment that you're living
Yes, the one sure given that you'll hold
The only truth you'll know for certain
This precious gift more dear than gold
This moment that we’re living
