Don’t cry for me
Come find me
Open the way
Shine the light
Clear the path
Courage!
Remember
The goal
Keep sight of
The Place
The Place
Where happiness
Lives
Where your heart
Sings
The Place
That Fear
Knoweth not
Remember
The fragrance
Of baking bread
Of honeysuckle
Of tidal flats
Remember the safety
Of a lover’s strong hand
The smile of a friend
The warmth of a fire
Remember the
Heart’s delight
Of tiny fingers…
Prancing puppies
Of dancing figures
Of Japanese drums
Remember all
These things
And persevere
Find the key
To unlock your
Heart
And receive
This grace.
