Father Of The Wind By Paul Wilson Speak to me father of the wind from beyond the valley of kings Bring to me that which I desire more than life… on Pegasus wings Calm the turmoil within my soul remove doubt from my empty heart Let me share today with all those I love… for soon I will depart Blinding light coming from the West holds me on the edge of today Scatter my ashes on the winds for all eternity I pray I’m just a fading memory of loved one’s that no longer care Light my pathway with stars of hope to journey’s end I won’t despair River of life wash away sins father of the wind where are you On rock of salvation I stand waiting for my life to be through Look past the mountains and stars to valley of kings where I reside Grains of sand mark moments in time left behind for today I died ~~To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you~~ Paul [This message has been edited by Paul Wilson (07-26-2007 09:59 AM).] |

"I’m just a fading memory of loved one’s that no longer care Light my pathway with stars of hope to journey’s end I won’t despair" It breaks my heart to read you have this feeling. My prayer is the circumstance that led to this write will change soon. bless you, latearrival. |
