Thank you

You carried me through

When the night was darkest

And I could not see the light

When my burdens were heavy

And my soul so weary

You bore me gently

Through those harsh nights

So that now when the soft taste of

England falls like a blessing

Along with my tears

I find in my soul a thank you rising

Like sparks from the glowing embers

Of a slowly dying fire

Of bittersweet memories

That give me comfort

I asked for your blessing

Your love and protection

You did not fail me

So now a peace rises

Which totally surprises

My expanding heart

As love for it all

Shines through the darkness

Like the brightest blessing

Setting my aching spirit free

To taste

Delight
