“And lifts our spirits”
A single "and," a spark in endless night,
Connecting thoughts like stars in boundless space.
It fuels the fire of human will and might,
Extending time, transforming every place.
"And" lifts our spirits, gives our lives their grace,
It ties the soul to purpose, love, and care,
A light that shines when all seems cold and bare.
Each "and" affirms we’re more than we appear,
A radiant glow that leads us anywhere,
Beyond the limits of the now and near.
