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.

I meet with God daily,
And He speaks with me;
And I sit and listen,
In His realm of eternity.
In His tongue He teaches,
And my soul, it reaches;
Through the firmament,
His Light beseeches.
He calls me His child,
And we lie reconciled,
From the darks’ distortions,
Which oft’ kept me exiled.
He breathes into me,
His Light, heavenly,
And I rest breathlessly,
In momentary ecstasy.
Yes, daily we meet,
At dawn, noon, and dusk greet;
And I kneel gently,
In veneration at His feet.
For nothing can compare,
To His golden, piercing stare,
Which reignites the soul,
For in its Light, He’s always there.
I meet with God daily,
Far from this worlds harms,
Where hope and love is found,
In His embracing arms.

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.

The closest to heaven I’ve ever been,
Was in your arms, and in your view.
On Earth there is no place better than where,…
Love finds you.
The sky can not compare, nor sun or moon,
Nor the flowers of summer days,
To that spark of heaven endowed within.
For love is divine praise.

You can not guarantee tomorrow,
So why must you steal away our today?
Let us live, and love, and laugh so,…
We don’t waste our lives away,
In fear of the inevitable.
You can not guarantee our safety.
You can not even guarantee your own.
Life and time pass us by swiftly.
So, why spend our time alone,
When today could be our final one?
You can not guarantee life at all.
It only guarantees you’re a liar,
For we all live and someday fall.
Life is hard, and often dire,…
Though a vast journey from start to end.
Do not guarantee us tomorrow,
And do not plan, and scheme, and try to steal,…
From the stories you’ll never know.
Life is like a spinning wheel,
Which moves ever onward steadily.
So, do not guarantee tomorrow.
I am more than content with my today.
Let me live, and love, and laugh so,…
When it’s my time I can say,
“I did not miss tomorrow, because I lived today”.
