The Calling
The heron on the lake
Did not stir and make you wake
But by my side I saw you stand
And point to it with your hand
We talked, I listened, I saw you glance
At butterflies flying in a dance
And all at once I saw each wing
Carry you free from suffering
But your smile and love always remain
Tinged with sadness and with pain
You walk with me in thought and deed
Bless each step until I succeed
And then one day when life is done
Your wings will carry me to the sun
Together we as one shall be
And all of life we’ll know and see
That world beyond the one we know
Where love stands timeless
In Heaven’s glow
