Me with my sister, Rita, to whom this song is dedicated.

Rita You shatter laughing clockface Take charge of your own time Regain mastery of your world Your fate now realigned Toward what you always wanted But lay beyond your reach Within your fingers’ grasp now Proud destiny, inner peace (chorus) Seasoned now, inured you are Wise beyond your years Revising book of your own life Harness your doubt and fears Grievous wrongs you’ve done and borne Behind you in dark past Redesigned and built anew Your life moves, built to last When disoriented once And blindly groping through Lost in forest of needles, thinking True friends turned on you Will and spirit stronger, though All hope you’d then abandoned Determined, courage steadfast Regained your power within Banished shadow from your view New sense of direction let healing begin (chorus) Wild life now stabilized Though still you bear deep scars All at once you realized How loved you always were and are Broken circle, friends resealed Your mind’s clipped wings amend And thought processes aspeed Million tangents from point of focus Activity sole drug you need (chorus)
