Transcend

Approaching the dark door all will enter

Across the waters of an endless horizon

Life’s ominous clouds loom large

What is future when your clock reaches zero?

Alone and fearful you entered life

Through a transforming portal of love

Love alone sustains, nourishes, enriches but

Full sails carry you ever onward, always forward

Did the angels morn your departure to earth?

Be their hearts like mine, they sobbed torrents

I despair to help you pass the threshold

But alone you must go to the light beyond

Hold you I will, care I do, love you always

Now transcend the gate to Him who waits
