God Grant Peace
To all my dear friends.written 7/18/1996
May the Lord shine his countenance upon thee,
Visit your days with blessing.
May his spirit sing to you from the wind.
May God encamp angels about thee.
May he soothe your heart's pain.
May the Lord lighten thy heavy load,
That you may walk your path in peace.
May his love bare you up on wings of love.
May you drink from his well of living water.
May the wind beneath his wings bare you up,
When the storms of life pull you to and fro.
May his eyes be forever upon you,
As the road you walk be rocky.
May his ears be open to your becking call,
May he answer you with speed and concern.
At the end of thy journey may he say,
Welcome home thou true and faithful servant.
