you hold each moment close, never letting go.
giving light to each minute, Jah grants you.
your kindness warms me
your reflection reminds me, of the work yet to be done, in this world.

be blessed to paint with the color green of the forest
hear the voice and feel the riddims of fadda bob from heaven
“...and forever i say...we'll be forever lovin Jah...”
