Heal and Thrive
...embedded in our prayers a miracle to heal and thrive...
With the belief that all things
must pass
A never ending nightmare
made a surreal life in all of us
Kept us distant from each other
From all the ones we dearly love
ever
The difficult times we had like
the devil incarnate
Stalked us in all avatar forms
they create
More ferocious uglier than the
ones before
Yes! shall come to pass... will be
no more
As always in our life we turn our
energy to faith hope and love
Virtues in the heart of
humankind a gift from above
Faith in the truth that love
is perpetually there
The encompassing kindness we
have for each other
Will keep our faith our hope alive
No matter when and where
despondencies arrive
Good things we wish to be
indeed will be coming
As we let go of all the darkness
the sun lights the way to
healing and thriving
Upon us is waiting an occasion
joyous
On paradise earth and in heaven
glorious
We gather evermore strength in
believing
Better days are in the offing
As we continue to ask for
guidance from above... we pray
That we continue to heal and be
whole again... that we may
In body and spirit embrace
happiness as we aspire to
thrive
That we may be together again
the old fashioned way dancing
The dances of life of laughter of
joy of gratitude in the
community of caring
Without a shred of doubt in the
prayers we strive
Upon us is waiting a miracle
to heal and to thrive
