& be granted to know

in this sad time
we find no rhyme
can unwind
the stress in our mind

on our knees we go
praying to take it slow
& be granted to know
where hope will show

but all things work
without the slightest quirk
to the lord's greater glory
& the continuation of his story

i see visions of justice bestowed

i dream dreams of a sword freed from stone
i dream dreams of fear all alone
i dream dreams of patience unyielding
i dream dreams of love unending

i see visions of hope rewarded
i see visions of faith upholded
i see visions of justice bestowed
i see visions of greed brought low

i speak of fruit upon the tress
i speak of the happiness of bees
i speak to you all you lost souls
i speak to you of gods great goals

and found a little dismay

just for today
i did not stray
nor become prey
nicely i did play

just for today
i enjoyed a replay
and found a little dismay
but did not sway

just for today
i moved without delay
and found time to pray
and gave love away

Paul Taylor - Grandfather

this Noble Son
has come and gone
and let us say again
he was a giant among men

father, grand and great
we all could relate
to the wisdom of his mind
a view most refined

& it was a life so complete
that only death could defeat
so return now to her side
your most wonderful, wonderful bride
