be still, my soul...tonight there is no rush;
allow the quiet within to rise...let the hours pass without a sound.
keep on down that quiet road...find your way to the distant lighthouse;
just be still, my heart...love will find you.

allow destiny to have her way...so the days pass without a song;
there is always that speck of light...don’t be downcast, my spirit.
there’s so much to consider...don’t be confused, chaotic mind!
the road is long and demanding...don’t be far from me, my precious stamina!

if the well runs dry...should the day turn to night,
be assured this road doesn’t end.
should you be blinded...should the only light on your way burn out,
always remember the eternal arms of love that continue to be outstretched.
in the end, inspiration will find its way back to you, weary one.

...if I ride these dreams to the Irish Sea,
oh, even there, I know your heart rides with me...

"find your way to the distant lighthouse;"

Thank you for the very bottom of my heart for this:

"my precious stamina!"

I cried "God, let me read something I need, just something, anything, from anyone, and this...this broke me....God bless you

thank you a million times over........

And who's to say what might be
But in you I've found a love so strong
The sun and the moon look on in jealousy
