A Jewel that Sparkles in the Dark
Sweet voice of Trust and Hope
Forever live in my Heart
And shine for those in Pain
Heal the wounded Soul
Infusing Fragrant Petals of Love
and Affection .

Peter, this is a lovely prayer.
One of my core values. Honesty is one of the most important virtues to master, and with it wisdom and discretion as to how best to appropriate it. (Not good to be "too honest" with everyone. Lots of immature, judgmental, hypercritical people in this world -- the average Christian is the worst -- Pastor Steve Thurman taught me that in his series "A KILLER CALLED LEGALISM" -- you can listen to it online at www.fbccs.org under Resources/1995, or read Swindoll's book "THE GRACE AWAKENING". Oswald Chambes also noticed the quick-to-condemn propensity of most Christians -- see his exhortation "The Uncritical Temper / My Utmost For His Highest".)

Wonderful write Peter.
You're so right about this - honesty between two people is a real gem.
Enjoyed this one
These song lyrics and art are tales, tides and twinkling lights - tunes telling stories of warmth and sun, city and sand, paths that lead, and the coins we can keep in the Karma Bank. Spirit's been bypassed for sorrow, dreaming of a better tomorrow .
