PUEBLO BLESSING
Hold on to what is good
Even if it is a handful of earth.
Hold on to what you believe
Even if it is a tree which stands by itself.

Hold on to what you must do
Even if it is a long way from here.
Hold on to life
Even when it is easier letting go.
Hold on to my hand
Even when I have gone away from you.

I WILL LOVE YOU
As long as I can dream,
As long as I can think,
As long as I have a memory,
I will love you.

As long as I have eyes to see,
And ears to hear,
And lips to speak...
I will love you.

As long as I have a heart to feel,
A soul stirring inside me,
An imagination to hold you...
I will love you.

As long as there is a time,
As long as there is a love,
As long as I have breath to speak your name
I will love you.

THE ROAD TO ETERNITY
Life is but a stopping place,
A pause in what’s to be,
A resting place along the road
To sweet eternity.
We all have different journeys,
Different paths along the way,
We all were meant to learn some things,
But never meant to stay...
Our destination is a place
Far greater than we know.
For some, the journey’s quicker,
For some, the journey’s slow.
And when the journey finally ends,
We’ll claim a great reward,
And find everlasting peace,
Together with the Lord.
          Sent by Stephen Bays in memory of his father, David.
