There is a simple beauty
In all that one ought to see
This world that’s wrapt about me
Exudes great alacrity
With every single instance
Of my entire existence
I have tried to understand
With the wisdom here at hand
An adventure to expand
All so elegant and grand
This monment full of pleasure
In life for all to measure !
Our aims got tangled and went adrift
The spirit’s drowning and needs a lift
While our dreams have somehow gone astray
Pray this confusion soon melts away.
At the root of all that we believe
And a part of ideas we conceive
May the love of God instill great peace
And from life’s distress grant all release !
There is a lesson I have learned
That all misfortune is not earned
And oftentimes is ill advised
By those who have been compromised.
Tis now the time for all to rise
And beg the Power of the skies
To ease the pain and teach us ways
To seek fulfillment in our days !
What power on this earth enslaves
Their people from each birth to graves,
What ancient curse now here exists
With strengths increased and still persists ?
Oh Lamb of God when will it cease
How long must we thirst for Your peace,
Though blind we are and bullied too
Our faith remains steadfast and true !
The springtime gales that fill the sails of vessels out at sea
And bring the rain that nourishes the farmlands that is free,
Summer winds that fill the air with odors of faint perfume
The breath of ocean breezes blowing cross a sunlit room,
How wild the call of autumn rolls complete with heavy scents
Of chimneys belching forth the smoke from warm hearthfires intense
The winter storm that carries Mother Natures ice cold sleet
Staccato sounds ring all around like heavy crunching feet,
These are the gifts that God has wrought to bring us happiness
And to our lives has added all the blessings we possess.
We thank you God and go our way believing that we’ll earn
Our daily bread, our prayers are said awaiting our new turn.
