Now, the Touch It let me be, The touch of Loss, and loss Was what I felt, And in the melt I lost the me ~ The what I was, That what, I be… Voices, heard, And voices, felt, My god, I knew, I was this melt! I lost that fate, One whole of me, I felt hot stream, Tranquility… “Oh God,” Their voices streamed untrue, “Mom, MOM, please!” Then, this glue That once was me Was now undone And only God, and Please, his Son Were the only Voices heard, And yet assured, Now came One Word… Do not hesitate This your love And never, please, Leave this worth For I once walked And walked alone This lovely piece, This piece of earth… But Peace was all Yes, ALL, I heard This Lovely Peace of Earth! Then lonely I, Yes lonely be For not I, Of little worth, Wanted less, then Wanted, none, and none Was less than worth… Then lo, the Man held out his hand And LO! the miracle… He held me warm, Then tight and strong As then the spiracle He held me high, aloft and true And lo, no pedestal… Would ever hold this weight Of one, Nor could it hold the love…. For nothing could have held The loss Of one who left their soul… But HE who had a plan In mind Was HE who Gave the goal… ~*~ Now I, yes I, who ~ Shallow be, Though shallow shall Not be still; Then I, yes I, Who righteous be, Though righteous With some will; Well now I, yes I! Who sometimes be A cavalier of youth! Now comes a mirror Shining bright, reflecting GOD, this truth! Now yes, my heart, be stilled… Be stilled, that you shall Have it all, as all that It shall be… For it let me be, The touch of Loss, and loss Was what I felt, And in the melt I lost the me ~ The what I was, That what, I be… And if I be but once a dream Of yours now gone upon a stream I would you then remember well The loss that hears a brass green bell… |

Karilea, I felt that pain... If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |

Karilea, this is so beautiful........ Then lo, the Man held out his hand And LO! the miracle… He held me warm, Then tight and strong As then the spiracle He held me high, aloft and true And lo, no pedestal… Would ever hold this weight Of one, Nor could it hold the love…. For nothing could have held The loss Of one who left their soul… But HE who had a plan In mind Was HE who Gave the goal… Thank you!!  Hugs, Ethel |
