As grey strands appear and wrinkles set in
A prayer rises from deep within
For though love seeks the presence near
It's your joy that's even more dear
And it's freedom in every meaning
As the river flows always to the sea
It rains to quench the all receiving ground
And the vapours rise in prayers to the sky
May I see you rise to your dreams
Love that once bound now setting free
Like a tree rooted in the ground
To this earth I am bound
And I reminisce the love that transpired
Though not always been obvious
In my heart etched in iron memorized
Were you close to me my child
Like the sun to me would you provide
But even afar your soothing happiness
Like the moonlight would calm my mind
And so gladly would I take much pride
Fear not for my plight
For benevolent God fends me
Despair not in adversity rather rise
And elevate yourself in your destiny
And in it lies my glory
