AT THE END OF THE STORM

“The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, nor to worry about the future, but to live the present moment wisely and earnestly.”

 

― Bukkyo Dendo Kyokai, The Teaching of Buddha

YOU'LL NEVER WALK ALONE – ELVIS PRESLEY

 

Sometimes in life we come full circle

I see a footprint of my beginning

and here I am back at the start

I see the people who tried to stop me winning

but I rise above them; and leave them far behind

I draw a line in shifting, whispering grains of sand

and something deep inside me drives me on

no looking back; I am complete; I understand

sometimes in life we cannot win them over

it's not our job; it's for a greater Hand

and He will guide me on my journey

bring me safely to the shore

where angels sing; rejoice and hold me

and I will not be frightened any more

He sees in us the pain; the human burden

He sees the weight that life and people bring

He knows how much; He knows and He is certain

He will not give us more than we can take

so that in our hearts and souls we'll always sing

and when at last our cup is brimming over

He lays his Hand upon our heads and soothes our brow

and we feel the greatest love that ever found us

and we are comforted and lighter; it is a miracle somehow

and once more we are peaceful

finding joy in simple things

as darkness; shadows and all our plights

are left behind and taken care of;

whisked away on angel's wings

and soon the lines of strain are smoothed; not furrowed

as clouds reveal the stars of wonder and ethereal light

and we begin to live at last the ever after; forget tomorrow

this moment we exist; and in this moment

I am complete; I am content right here, right now.
