To Ease the Passing of Time

May ye see when you reach the end of your journey

When the sun is gone and your sky turned grey

Sitting alone with your pain and your sorrow

In the depth of your heart may ye see a rainbow

And beyond your sadness and your loneliness

And despite your grief and your hopelessness

May ye see through the fog in the valley below

The flowers gently blooming in the meadow

May ye hear through the wind and behind the thunder

Coming from your heart like a gentle whisper

May ye hear the love songs of the sparrows

And the river singing through the rocks as it flows

May ye find at the end of your long journey

Little things to make you content and happy

The wisdom that came with your old age

To help you accept what you cannot change
