Godspeed Godspeed To a place I find no pain Lead From here of constant rain Reveal True meaning while I’m here Heal The hearts that I’ve caused tears Remind From where I’ve come Find What I let be undone Consume The fire brought upon Renew Like the newly breaking sun Destroy Pain that shouldn’t exist Avoid What was just hit and missed Hide Secrets that lie underneath Rely On the tougher skin beneath Breathe For everything will turn out Leave That which...

What just happened? I ask myself this simple question every day. How could I have let you...? How was I so blind....? I ask myself this simple question every day.

To my husband of 54 years Will you sail with me to a far away land, stand by me when I am alone? Hold me a moment and take my hand, when my task here on earth is done? . We crossed a dessert in storm and rain Together, we conquered life’s task. We stumbled; we fell and got up again. Will we go...
