When the story came that you were on your way, It was news that I would rather not have heard, When you came into this time the world stood Still it was clear a warrior had come our way In the wonder and in the mystery, Seeking understanding finding God's own breath When we gather around you as the day goes by it is you who brings us Close and shows us grace, When it is all said and done you are the One who brings out the beauty and joy divine You are a new life within, made manifest through God's own will. You are the spirit within that will not be caught nor caged. May all the great ones walk with you shine a light on you Reflect a light that beams on you, you are a breath of life
