"Just as Long as I Have Breath -" by Alicia S. Carpenter: Just as long as I have breath, I must answer, 'Yes' to life; though with pain I made my way, still with hope I meet each day. If they ask what I did well, tell them I said, 'Yes', to life. Just as long as vision lasts, I must answer, 'Yes' to truth; in my dream and in my dark, always: that elusive spark. If they ask what I did well, tell them I said 'Yes' to truth. Just as long as my heart beats, I must answer, 'Yes' to love;
disappointment pierced me through, still I kept on loving you. If they ask what I did best, tell them I said, 'Yes' to love.
