I went out in the night to sit by the water's edge
Where the moon is white light on the little ripples
The great silver dragon flies on overhead
Ever-present, ever-all-knowing
I'm sorry for the things I said that hurt you
And the way I let my worries upset me
I'm sorry for the things you do not have
And I'm deeply grateful for the things that you do
Thank God for this place
In Jesus' Name,
Amen

When I was young I had so  many dreams
I found my life ill-equipped to find them
I struggled against the laws that restrained me
And suffered under the weight of my curse
All madness this, now that I am mad
And no one comes to call upon my weary shore
Those friends that were are gone away now
The unfought war has torn and defaced their hearts
And I know they are my enemies and I pray to God
May peace come in here and life go on
I love you like air and water and light
I feel like my life has been answered
And when my task of caring for you is done
I can lay in the dirt and die peacefully
I only want to provide for you
And hold you in my arms at night
I come to love you more and more with time
Thank you God
In Jesus' Name,
Amen
