May You Be

May the wind be always at your back

And the sunshine warm upon your face

May the rains fall soft upon your field

Until the day we meet again

And the roof that hangs over your head

Find you shelter from the storm

Before the devil knows you're dead

May you be in heaven my friend

May good luck find you at your worst

And back luck lose you at your best

May your days be rich and full of wealth

And your nights be long when you need rest

And the roof that hangs over your head

Find you shelter from the storm

Before the devil knows you're dead

May you be in heaven my friend

And the road may it rise to meet your feet

And be downhill all the way to your door

May the grass below be green and the sky above be blue

May it be so forever more

And the roof that hangs over your head

Find you shelter from the storm

Before the devil knows you're dead

May you be in heaven my friend

Poetry Soothes And Emboldens The Soul

"A poem needs understanding through the senses. The point of diving in a lake is not immediately to swim to the shore but to be in the lake, to luxuriate in the sensation of water. You do not work the lake out, it is a experience beyond thought. Poetry soothes and emboldens the soul to accept the mystery"

... John Keats

Home

Hold on to me as we go

As we roll down this unfamiliar road

And although this wave is stringing us along

Just know you’re not alone

Cause I’m going to make this place your home

Settle down, it'll all be clear

Don't pay no mind to the demons

They fill you with fear

The trouble it might drag you down

If you get lost, you can always be found

Just know you’re not alone

Cause I’m going to make this place your home
