A lovely sunset on my trip out to Two Hills, Alberta to visit a friend.
Let the Light Guide and Strengthen You
I say softly now you can’t rely on emotions
Or greed or pity or any deadly sin
But you can find strength as vast and deep as the oceans
When you let your spirit grow strong from within
The spirit that guides me through the darkness
Is the hope that keeps me warm cold winter nights
Never hope to face the world when you are lonesome
Because each soul on Earth gives us strength in different ways
I thought the best thing for me was hiding
To live far away from angry, judgemental eyes
But the spirit that guides me through the darkness
Helped me to age like wine, grow old and wise
Just like an energy that surrounds us all and binds us
The spirit kept me going in the here and now
And as I opened up and allowed others to love me
I found the courage to use the grindstone and the plow
The spirit that guides me through the darkness
Kept me going, kept me fighting for better days
I cared no more that some may have disliked me
By that spirit’s power my broken soul was saved
And then I found the perfect partner
Someone to care for all the rest of my living days
And at once I gave myself to her loving heart
Then my whole life got so much better in so many ways
