I was at deaths door blind and could not see With faulty mind and lips unable to speak My life changed forever after Xavier told me Be not afraid of the vastness of the dark Find your way using the guiding silver star The pain won’t remain He will lift your heart Gently my child your life indeed will end Whether later or now only He commence Soiled soul sifted made saintly despite sin Your desires are like fires burning your soul To go higher you must release them let go For His love is more precious than gold You haven’t much time left to persevere As clock ticks unwinds remember my dear You are destined whether there or here Hanging in the balance with this wise man Who could be an arch angel by his stance Giving me knowledge and a fighting chance
