Though shadows cast their veil my way
I hold to light and love that stays
Close to heart still on reserve
As whispered voice still calls to serve
Though needs have slipped through careless fingers
A need greater of man now lingers
Cause and effect have been bestowed
Upon mere hands Greater has sowed
Sentiment that rained of red
Sacrifice of blood One shed
Came to turn such tides of sorrow
Into blessings for all tomorrows
In love and light I raise my cup
To One and her who still looks up
To He who made the Moon and Stars
My thanks to both for who they are
