Love Divine

Oh Love Divine!
Truth everlasting,
Light of my life and Friend for eternity
give me your Grace
teach me your Love
Grant that I too may share in Your Love for my fellow men

Oh Love sublime!
give me your Strength
to Bear with a Smile, any pain and suffering

and to give Strength to Others
to Share and to Support

Oh joyful Love!
give me your Smile
Teach me to Laugh,
to find fun and happiness
in all things I come across

'twas a fairy tale garden indeed
an' i thought it all a fantasy
