INSPIRED BY ST. JOHN OF THE CROSS
I went out into the dark night
Leaving behind my peaceful home
While all was resting
I ventured into the undergrowth of my life
Got stuck in tangled weeds
Fell into darkest lakes
Where almost did I drown
I cried in fear
For a hand to save me
A warm blanket to cover me
But now there was no turning back
The path had become indistinct
There was no hand to guide and comfort me
I wandered in the darkness
Amongst the weeds
Looking for the glory
In this darkest night
I looked up to the sky
There were no stars
In this blackest night
The moon was cut into four
In the middle
A black cross
And then I heard you calling
My Beloved
I felt your hand upon my head
And the softness of your caress
And then I knew
That in this darkness I must live
This glowing dark
Illuminated by your love

Thank you for sharing!!.. hope all is well in your part of the world and you and your family have a wonderful holiday and Christmas filled with love and happiness!!.. 🙂
Until we meet again..
May flowers always line your path
and sunshine light your way,
May songbirds serenade your
every step along the way,
May a rainbow run beside you
in a sky that’s always blue,
And may happiness fill your heart
each day your whole life through.
May the sun shine all day long
Everything go right, nothing go wrong
May those you love bring love back to you
And may all the wishes you wish come true
(Irish Saying)
