Mystic Rose Rose Poet Rhyme

The Apple Of Your Eye

Lead me into the still waters of your living Grace Lord 
make me the apple of your eye, the tip of your sword 
Bring me into the light, let your sun shine on my soul 
turn me into a star and beam me from earth's shoal 

Take me to your bosom, rock me like a wayward child 
jewel of my heart, be the living word on my still-breath  
Connect my mind to my heart and help me to re-new,  
when I'm stressed and taking on more than I can chew.  

Father of lost children, sick, poor and hungry, take me 
into the oceans of your Mercy and Compassionate Love 
Paterfamilias, ... cured I shall be with one touch of you,  
or on the other side of heaven, if you asked me to 

Lead me into the still waters of your living Grace Lord 
make me the apple of your eye, the tip of your sword. 

Amen 

Dedicated to my brother in law Joe, who is passing away.
