Yet often did I wonder
And often did I cry
Not knowing where the roads may lead to
Not knowing what I’ll ever find
‘Til I sat in silence along the way
‘Til I listened to my heart and prayed
That I realized love was always there
And that love shall always stay
I grasped it and I let it go
I breathed it in and I breathed it out
I tasted it and cherrished it
I held it with my trembling palm
For love has been there all along
And love will guide me ‘til I’m home
What I have sought I know I’ve found
And my heart shall rest on higher grounds
Dear God, you had always been there for me, through every trial and every tear, through every victory and through every joy. I couldn’t have made it through without you. I couldn’t have lived a beautiful life were it not for your grace and your love. There is just so much to be thankful for, especially for the people who truly made this life worthwhile. Many of them had already gone, many I do not know where their own journeys led them. But just the same O Lord, I thank you for we have touched one another’s lives. I shall never forget them, and their lives will always be a part of mine.
Dear Jesus, they say that the world is so beautiful and it is just a pity that I couldn’t see it. They say that there are so many wonderful colors around, colors that make you happy and that brightens up your day. They exclaim, “What a beautiful sunrise!” or “What a magnificent sunset!”, and then they tell me just how much they wanted to share those things to me. And I believe they are able to, Jesus. They are able to share their happiness with me even if they’re not able to share their eyes. And I am grateful to them. I thank you for all the wondrous gifts you have given us in this world.
