Dear Father...

Dear Father thank you for this day
The wonder I can't hide
The glow of true belonging
That I feel so warm inside,
For patience when I stray
From pathway true, and then somehow
The gift of sight to see beyond
The darker clouds of now.

Dear Father, thank you for this day
Your presence ever near
The colours and the splendour
Of all living things that cheer,
The joy of safe arrival
In completing Living's vow,
The gift of sight to see beyond
The darker clouds of now.

Dear Father, thank you for this day
And all that I have earned
From travelling's rich experience
Wise lessons slowly learned,
To rest at evensong
And know your blessings still endow
The gift of sight to see beyond
The darker clouds of now!
