For

Be strong for those who need you
Be knowledgeable for those who will learn from you
Be ready for those who will call for your help
Be present to those who are alone

Be pure for those who'll be inspired by you
Be there for those who love you
Be truthful for those who listen to you
Be honest for those who deal with you

Be life for those who are dying
Be hope for those who despair
Be faith for those who doubt
Be love for the unloved

Be nothing for those who need everything
Be something for those who have none
Be everything for those in need
Be someone for the no one

Be forgiveness for those who hurt you
Be healing for those who hurt
Be trust for those who are dubious
Be light for those who are lost

But most of all...

Be the voice for the one who called you
Be the vessel for the one who cares
Be filled with the One who emptied
Believe in the One who believes in you.

To Open Sea

My sail is still, my sail is still
How soon, O Wind, will you blow?
No one to fill, no one to fill
A heart that longs to go

Out to sea, to open sea
Where adventure lies ahead
Here I remain with an open plea
A wish in sea I tread

Glide and move on top the waves
But still do I remain
Until, O Wind, the way you pave
With a blow to ease my pain

The Lark's Song

The lark breaks the cold gray morning

With his own brand of sweet song

Though he sang with all his heart's beating

No one else would bring it along

Yes his song is sung alone

It rings in the silence of the air

No song as beautiful is known

Yet none for him to share

A sweet sad song he sings

Perhaps a song of true warm tears

Flowing amid deep cold mornings

Falling on dull deaf ears

Yes, his song is sung alone

Across hearts that fail to breathe

Within such a peaceful tone

Harmony sung incomplete

The sun will not rise again

Though sky is pink in blossom

Till the lark finishes his song

With someone to sing it along
