Every day when I awake
I think of You I call to You
My beloved, my cosmic dove
So many images in my dreams
Reaching out to You
To understand
Every morning I believe
I will receive Your
Blessings and share
Your love that You
Give to me with
Anyone who
Is willing

I follow this with
An affirmation of my love
For Thee
A dedication to the Spirit
A promise to be true
With every moment
With every breath
I breathe I say
To You
Thank You

Thank You for the things
I did not want
Thank You for the things
I could not grasp
On my own
Thank You for being patient
With my mistakes
Thank You for loving me
Regardless of my
Clumsy breaks

Life is like a rink
We travel around
And I fall down
On my roller skates
On my ice skates
This is my fate
But still You pick me up
You give me love again
You push air back into
My lungs
With the song that every
Bird has sung
Together in a choir
Of one harmony
One hymn
A madrigal to
My soul
You make
Me whole

When I share the way You make me feel
With the world so much confusion
Rises up when all I want is for us to heal
Arguments and bantering
Over Your love
Your name
And what You mean
Debates on
Who said what
This cannot be
What you
Intended

If You are compared to nature
Or a picture or a flame
It shakes up our mentality
It sends earthquakes of pain
Vocal disdain shouting
Read this scripture!
You don't know!
You should go!

What of those who are blind?
What of those who have never
Known your light?
On a starry stage
The Earth is your platform
The Ocean is your footlight
The Galaxy is your colosseum
But what if people can't read?
What if folks can't write?
I don't need to read to heed
Your love
There is no need to fight
Your power is in
Everything
The food that I eat
The bed where I sleep
I scream, I shout, I sing,
I whisper...
Believe me
Spirit is everything
God IS in everything
God is in you and
God is in me

As I lay me down
To sleep
I pray the Lord my soul
To keep
I pray that You
Will never leave
I read the words
You gave to me
Written on my holy shadow
The one that You made in me
The words You gave to us
Trumpet

-I am always with you
No matter what you do
No matter where you go
No matter how far
I am in your temple-heart
You are My shining star-

When I think of You
When I meditate
When I kneel down
Every morning and
Every night to pray
I can hear You say...

My child
My perfect creation
My sweet elation
Shhh... it will be okay
Close your eyes
Picture My glory
Listen to this
Bedtime story...

Picture an explosion
In the cosmos
The greatest fireworks
You have ever seen
Do you hear, do see
Can you feel what I mean?
You are bigger than the Big Bang
You are not a theory
You are a part of me
A blast so bright
It could light up
The universe inside My heart
The pulsating Love that
I feel for you My child
Is with Me everyday
You keep Me going
In the same way
That I lift you up
We are as One
You are My
Truth and
I fill your
Cup

When people do not understand
Your love, your words of faith for Me
Your feelings of happiness and peace
Remember I will hold your hand
Smile and don't get upset
For the journey is only beginning
We haven't even made it halfway yet

Cross the bridge of My love
Spiritual boards will lead you
Into My arms
You do not have
To prove anything
Just smile and bring
Your light
SHINE ON!
It is SO lovely...

If everyone loved
One another
The way that
You love Me
My heart
Would beat
So fast
A brilliant
Blast
Of dynamite-like
Love bombs
Would explode
And blaze

Marvel at the atmosphere
In a dazzling daze
Opening every
Eye and
Gaze

In

Amazement at the heavens
A witness to the dream
The message of all time
And space has been received
Love One Another
As I have loved you

They love each other
As I have loved them
They love each other
As they love Me!!!
A beautiful love surprise
Indeed!
This is all we
Need to be
The only truth
We want
This is all the
World needs
Humanity
Philanthropy
To Love each other
As I have loved you
And you My
Child have
Loved
Me...

Our love for God
Will ultimately be
The strongest love
We shall ever seek

If we can love
One another
As we love God
As God loves us
Even just a little bit
Could be more than enough

If we can treat each other
With gentleness and kindness
God will take care
Of the rest
I promise

Take a deep breath
Let love inside
Feel the
Rush

What a beautiful surprise

Feel like your breathing again where
No one loses and everyone wins
No pushing and shoving just
Caring and loving

On your mark
Get ready
Get set
Go!

Let your love flow...
