Gifts of Life

Gifts of Life The earth in all her wisdom Reflects your grief The mountains stand as silent witness To echo your pain The oceans heave and crash Your torment to the earth Again and again I see the forces of evil That drive you Unforgiving, relentless and cruel I see the demons of guilt That devour you Destroying a precious jewel I know that your spirit Is pure and strong Untouched by the monster You've fought for so long I know that your heart Though wounded with pain Will find the courage To live again The gifts of Life are weaving their miracles Deep within your soul Listen.... Life is calling Gently beckoning Softly pleading For your response Where peace and wisdom Silently await you....
