Fill the store
Empty the heart of things vicious
Tearing you apart
Please go
Please depart
Let the sun shine in
The love to flow
The world know you are gentle
All good things fill
Your store and loving heart.

You’ve been with me
I believe
no amount of time will pass
without you near.
Remorse in the beginning
crying that will cease
becoming memories of laughter and play
things talked about shown, learned
and explained.
No farther away
than a thought in my head
for I see your voice speaking
your eyes filled with kindness
no dread.
I know I can go forward
I know I’ll be ok
for you’ll be with me
forever
forever and a day.

Another day not the same
A cloud, a veil
Lifted
Now I see my terrain.
All is clear
My purpose, my direction
My refrain.
I sing and live
What gives me satisfaction
Gives me
A life to live.

Hoping for
Listening
To
Drops of wisdom
Dripping knowledge
Into
My life.
Up to me
To
Drink deep
This gift
I’ve been given
Too.
Make the best
Going forward
Into
A world I’ve built
And living
Too.

Falling down
Getting up
Feeling rain
pouring in
Sky
thunderous blue
Earth
drenched.
Holding on
getting thru
storm ends
Sun shines
and
once again
I’ll be with you.

Let them help
Let them be part of the solution
Part of the ever evolving history.
Let them work
Let them play and be happy
For all will come to an end.
So let the trip, the journey
Be a good one
To last long into eternity.

Holding on
Holding safe
Letting go
Not to replace love
With hate.
It may be
Tomorrow
It may be
Later today
I will see the world
In a wondrous
New way.

Sun goes down
Into the evening sky
Leaving the moon to reflect it’s light
Into the water deep and blue
Turning it golden
Blood red too.
All is quiet in the evening sky
Birds ponder the reason why
As the sun now sinks
Beneath the ocean blue
Refreshing itself in waters deep, dark
Purely quiet too

Hear me call
Hear me say
Words of wonder
Everyday.
Given
By the Saviour
Told to me
Today.
To pass on to you
To help us both
Navigate
Our path, our way.

I have seen you
your love, honesty
and
virtue.
Knowing
that in-between
are the other things
that
no one wants to see
feel or do.
All
are what makes up
an individual
a life, a soul
and
you.
I have seen you
and
I hope you’ve
seen me
too.
