My Strength and Shield

...for Juvie The light that guides me on my way while breezes blow and flowers sway; the touch that calms my weary head when I am hanging by a thread; the voice that soothes me into sleep, and urges Him my soul to keep; for all the blessings you bestow pray God, may it for e'er be so.

Great phrasing Kieth. Enhances the flow very nicely especially the word order for the last line. Rolls very nicely off the tongue like all you write. Glad to know you have a love bubble to feel protected in. The world sucks huge without one of those. I don't know where I'd be without mine. Oh and I'll let my spell checker know you're proud it caught my misspelled 'miniscule':) -Yoni
