Close your eyes, relax, be still
The calm that comforts freely gives
This peace pervades with lively will
This hopeful heart is high and lives
Soothing touch makes miracles
The fear will fade with passing time
Dare seek out joy in barrelfuls
Dare now to ask another rhyme
Peace be with you; Blessed Be;
This path has brought us close to see
Merry Meet 'til Merry Part;
We hold a place within each heart
Entwining hands, like hopes and dreams
Contentment's closer than it seems
Rest - at ease - to feel secure
The years of yearning seem so far
Walls will fall: of this be sure
Walls can't trap all that we are
Gaze ahead to future bright
Such possibility in sight
And with the dawn of every night
I am thankful that
I'm yours.
