That shortest visit
reaches infinity
miracle so true
never has end in sight

a most difficult task
i do not ask
but begging you
as you've always been
the friendliest, the nicest
like in the old days
when life still had many opportunities
to soar, to fly
peregrination sans limits
to all wind sighs

always think
that ocean glued to the lovely town
is not a small puddle
immensely large and deep,
this great aqua is not to be trusted,
but no need to weep.

Only human beings you wish to cuddle
people in their dust
born on the same ground
and hearts are found

greatest compassion
keeping that knowledge
all at your own

thy existence
as precious as can be
for me
mainly marvelous present memories

drizzling rains
unexpectedly
for you and me

fortunately not painful
nor for you or for me

in my mind and me
the Birthday stay
so sweet, tremendous crackling cozy
due to the efforts thou doth

i say it this way
baby, it was an unforgettable stay
thank you !

When my mind wanders Lord
May it wander to the wonder of you
When it thinks a lie is right
Help it in clinging to your truth

When my heart is hardened
In an untimely flow of grief
May it be forever softened
With your ever loving heavenly beat

When my eyes try to close tight
So that they won't have to see
Open them with your Spirits wind
To look upon this world in need

And when my arms drop to my side
Help me to hold them open wide
To give to those the comfort
That only you Lord can provide
