This   happiness we each may contemplate

Sharing life and language with   a mate
Unspoken thoughts and gestures dignify
This   happiness we each may  contemplate

With a common purpose or a fate
To feel we are alive is  magnified
Sharing life and language with   a mate

If we’re down, we can resuscitate
The soul we share, when care will satisfy.
So   happiness we each  now contemplate

Yet there will be grief to mediate
Oh friends ,  come round when someone’s lover dies.
When  they lose  sweet life  shared with a loving  mate

After grief ,let’s hope we find a gate
Leading to the gardens of  new life
Happiness we  once more contemplate

So let a husband marry a new wife.
Let a widow love and be revived.
Sharing life and language with   a mate
This   happiness we each should  contemplate
