What is that love I feel within my heart?
What strange affection brings a sparkle to my eye!
As here I dwell, surrounded oh so deep,
with feelings that will not let me go.
In quiet moments I have come to know
that love is more than journey to my home.
Indeed I know I need to grow, to love,
for there are those I want to please.
When days are sometimes full of grief,
and sadness calls me, Oh so still,
to becken me to fall upon my knees
and reach for Heaven and Him who is my all!
T’is then I know that those who are my own,
are precious to me, and who love me so.
That special thanks I must proclaim to God
for granting me to dwell with those I love.
When separation comes, and some depart,
as closeness seems to have grown very cold,
let there be new light to touch my heart,
to tell me now, what I must do.
Renewal is the goal, to fix what once was strong,
as memory speaks to me in night time dark,
calling for sacred inner light,
and love reborn with those who still are kin.
It can be done. We cherish days gone by.
We reach to open ways to heal the cleft,
to make right, what seems to be no more.
We visualize a family all made new!
With words of deep affection we do choose
to live in ways that let our joy abound.
as now we pledge our efforts to keep strong
those ties now nestled in our souls!
