The ocean side church is serene and I am alone with the Lord and I am praying silently flickering candles cast shadows as a tear falls down my face unchecked I bow my head in grief O, Lord help me find the strength to live carry me out the darkness I am in O, Lord show me the way to you show me a place heavenly Lord, I am now ready . . . suddenly, I am aware of the birds the doves flying everywhere in the open church by the ocean the many plants are swaying in the breeze it is so beautiful in my heart God spoke to me embrace the beauty of this world go forth and find your peace so, I left the church and the birds and walked the ocean shore and all my pain was gone
