Guest guest Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 THE VALE OF TEARS Daily life's a swiftly flowing stream of re-born Souls Each are playing a role on this sad Ship of Dreams, As preordained by God Almighty for their growth To Enlightenment and Liberation so it seems. Myriad are the changing scenes in time and space As souls are reborn after a deep sleep of rest. Comes the day when tired of suffering in this place, There's a call to awaken from that vale of tears. Then the Mighty Lord through Grace sends His Teaching Which tells us how to awaken from our fears. The golden keys are Surrender and Devotion, To safely cross life's tempestuous ocean. The mighty Grace of the Sage is forever there To help and free us from darkness and despair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
