A Prayer.

[keith]

To let me rove just once again

To feel the silver sighing rain,

And let me wander one more time

To watch the heavens as they climb,

Is all that I can ask of you

For there is so much more to do,

So many things of treasured worth

Before I leave this precious earth.



To let my spirit wander free

Across the land, across the sea,

To let reflected beauty glow

Within my soul’s eternal flow,

Is all that I can want from you

For you and I were always true,

So many prayers lost in the rain

Until they wander back again.



To let the love I have inside

Keep blossoming, and never hide,

So many wondrous souls I’ve known

So often as I’ve been alone,

I felt their touch becalming me

And closed my eyes so I could see

Each face that waits along the way

Each smile that shines, each Prayer they say.



To wait until the sun goes down

Until the sunlit days all drown

In liquid golden evensong

Upon that hill where I belong,

Where faces wait in patient lines

For every feeling life defines,

Until they all meet up again

Beyond the realms of grief and pain…

Oh My God!

Thank you for this prayer Keith! I felt this so deeply...all I can do is lift my hand and say nothing!
