your path laden with memories
the faith of a banished child

knowledge you know nothing -
in the end all is wonderful mystery

your path weighted with pain-
counterweight to ground you

each breath a universal prayer
understood to be Holy silence.

I wish you can tell me that
I can just be ordinary in this life.
Just like that one dandelion
Growing on the side of the road
Quietly…

I wish you can tell me that
Life has more than hardships.
Just like that one dandelion
Enjoying the sunshine like a sunflower
Gratefully…

I wish you can tell me that
Wind comes from different directions.
Just like that one dandelion
Being carried away to the unknowns
Bravely…

I wish you can tell me that
I can land anywhere with my roots.
Just like that one dandelion
Landing its seed on the side of the road
Happily…

compassionate silence
making room for love

love that can do all
as you gaze into eternity.

let your Amen
endorse your life
short or long
hard or easy.

quickened by the unseen
answered prayer

you make your song
free gratis

the movement across your soul
gentle as falling snow

whiter than white
forgiveness heals your wounds

When you're cloaked in a pall of gloom
Life seems bland with colours gone
The little flower in her humble bloom
Will say she's there you aren't alone.

Fragrance of memory
blends with dust as we tread.
Life becomes a sacred journey.
