That I may understand every good path
That wisdom may reside in my heart
That knowledge and discretion may be my guard
This is my prayer to you, my guide and my God

I'm crazy about you, in that I'm sure
you set up my day so I can endure
you correct me and guide me, to take on the world
it's easier with roadmaps that aren't so ****** twirled
pretty sure I would stagger, when I walk out the door
but with your wise guidance, I'm ready for more

before
you enter  its meaning

When our lives are written
From the ink and numbers
That make up the universe
So we will find our way
By the light of the stars and the sea

there is a stream of bliss
where all your dreams exist
and it never ceases to flow

All Things Galore

Grandfather,
now in your gray presence
you are

somehow more near

and remind me that,
once, upon a star,

wish

that ululate soft phrase,
that hopeful phrase!

and everywhere above, each hopeful star

gleamed down

and seemed to speak of times before
when you clasped my small glad hand
in your wise paw

and taught me heaven, omen, meteor ...
