A Guiding Light

Respect, gratitude
All needed
Felt
With a sincere attitude.

Let love hold you safe
Feel secure
In arms
That envelope you. 

Know
In the morning
Late at night
You’re not alone.

You have
A saviour, a protector
A guiding light
Holding you.

Not Alone

Can’t believe I’m not alone
For there at my side
A presence stays
While I live, work, love, play
And some day, die.

Not alone, never to be
My journey directed
Choreographer, just for me.

I am loved no matter what
I have a place to stand
My back protected
My heart in loving hands.

My protector, confidant, spirit guide
May be those
Who have already lived
And now, have died.

Not that I care from where
They come
Just to feel that presence
At my side.

Will make my road
Smoother, a joy to live
Oh, such a ride!
