I wrote this (musicless ) song two and a half years ago for a friend who passed from Cancer.
Aunt Belle- the way you carried yourself despite the pain, was one of a kind.
You never failed to have a smile on your face. Thank you for showing me that
Love will always TRUMP PAIN & life is too beautiful to allow pain to dictate
It .
Our pain is only temporary, but what it is preparing us for is far more glorious!
RIP
Aunt Belle’s Song
June 6, 2014
There is a trembling child living deep inside of me
Afraid of the dark,, and everything she cannot see
this trembling child many nights finds herself softly weeping
a soul’s desperate cry of freedom and mercy
A soul whose somehow come to find beauty in suffering
In my blindness I have known sight
in my darkness I’ve seen light
In my solitude I have felt the embrace of Our Lady
In my sadness and dismay
I have heard songs of angels
through my most difficult days
There’s a man I met as I was walking
Down the beaten path, worn in familiarity
He came up beside me
With his wounded hands he showed me perfection as I’d never seen
Just a drop of his blood
and my spirit flew free
So please don’t mistake my pain for sorrow
Let’s enjoy these moments as if there’s no tomorrow
Perseverance, character and character, hope
This hope awakens me with the cardinal’s song,
Reconciles my heart
a heart birthed by love
transformed by a divine mystery
of this beauty within sufferings
