THE SOULS OF THOSE WHO PRAY


In the souls of those who pray
An illuminating light will shine
Guiding the blessed wanderer on his way
Aided by God’s grace divine
………………………………
The soul in radiance shines
Beholding a blessed beauty of a holy saint
Now exiting from material times
To enter a paradise only poetry can paint
…………………………….
Where righteousness and goodness reign
A Paradise where God lives in eternal bliss
Here never is there any sorrow or pain
All rest in God’s presence giving thanks and a kiss
……………………………………………
In the souls of those who pray 
An inner light like mental eyes
Gazes out on the world 
And its secret life is realized
...............................................
Of the souls of those who pray
This is what they say.
