------The Secret of a Soul------
Where do we turn when we are lost
And clouds overcome the day
Who lends a hand, no matter the cost
Who lightens our darkened way
Who strengthens our faith giving us hope
To continue life's treacherous path
And teaches forgiveness so cold hearts can cope
And souls that are saddened can laugh
Some say this spirit is inside each heart
Some say it's in God they rely
Perhaps each life on earth was born with a part
Of one soul which never does die
This eternal soul is where each person seeks
The answers to questions each day and night
This God don't reside on high lofty peaks
It's a shared soul that brings us the light
So love one another, treat each person kind
Remember it's God's soul that we share
If we don't forget then we may soon find
There's no hatred, just loving and care.
