613. May I Walk With You Always

Let your hopes be my hopes.

Let your ways be my ways.

Let your path be my path.

May I walk with you always.

Let your Light be my Light.

Let your rays be my rays.

Let your will be my will.

May I walk with you always.

Let your joys be my joys.

Let your days be my days.

Let your heart be my heart.

May I walk with you always.

611. Extant

Why are you screaming little one, little one?

Why are you hiding in the dark? Come. Come.

He can not hurt you…not anymore, not anymore.

The world left you for dead,

But God opened a door.

Why are you crying little one, little one?

Why are you huddled in the dark? Come. Come.

Time has passed by and the sun has arose…has arose.

The world left you for dead,

Yet the Light only grows!

Why are you frozen little one, little one?

Why are you standing in the dark? Come. Come.

Close your eyes, take a step, look and then see…look and see,

The world left you for dead,

Though you live eternally!

609. Realignment

Love helps us grow,

And reach the heights,

Of self-accomplishment…

And lends its sights,

On humanities betterment;

And future flights…

Of fancy.

New concepts…hopes,

Lift hearts and minds,

To the breadth of spacetime…

Reading the signs,

Of eternal reason and rhyme,

Which realigns…

Man…with God.

606. Only God

Nobody can help you.

Not her, not him, not me.

There is no one upon the earth,

Who can be there for you, fully.

Humans are mere mortals,

So don’t expect too much.

This life is simply a pathway,

To the next existence, as such.

No one has the answers,

Or can promise to stay.

For no one is given the choice,

To keep time from running astray.

Only God has answers,

And only He is there,

When everyone else goes away,

Only He will still see you, and care.

So sit with Him awhile,

And talk to Him of doubt.

Come to know that all will be well,

Within your spirit, and without.

Only God can help you.

Not her, not him, not me.

God is there…watching and waiting,

At the door of eternity.

605. Valorous

Let me offer some hard-learned advice,

About struggle and sacrifice.

No matter how strong you are,

One day you will think twice,

And denounce every scar.

“Life is not worth living anymore”,

You will say…but you must endure!

For those few precious moments…

Of joyfulness…so pure.

Life’s in the experience,

So fight on with great valor!
