To a Dear Friend

To a Dear Friend


It is hard to let go the loneliness
So long I have known it, and so well
But your care reaches warm to my heart
You've the power to end that dark spell.

I cry now because you love me
It seems more than I can bear
But I shall learn to love as you do
And then. . . uplift, ever more.

There is more to life than pleasure
More to do than to die
The struggle brings joy beyond measure
The battle goes forward, anigh.

So deep the measure of meaning
To struggle, to learn, and to know
We must do as our true wisdom leads us
While our spirits soar the high homes, there to grow.

Remember the Long Journey, Dear One
Fly to the heavens--try the door!
We've traveled this great path forever
Yet still the journey beckons, "Grow even more!"

A New Life awaits us--look homeward!
Before us lie many great tasks
We must find the wisdom of angels!
It is much, but it's what life doth ask.

Together we'll lift this whole Earth
To the good and bright place it should be
Yes, we will learn the wisdom of angels!
We can. We shall. You and me.
