May I stay amazed
for all of my days
At all of the ways

Amazed at what I’ve got,

Loving Kindness by Gerry Dignan
VIDEO: Loving Kindness
LYRICS:
Loving Kindness, I’ll remember,
Through the storm and through the cold,
Like a fire’s glowing embers,
Loving kindness warms my soul.
The warmth of a stranger’s coat
In a dark and distant land,
The soft tender touch
Of a grandmother’s loving hand.
Songs sung by the neighbor’s fireside,
Circle of friends sit and watch the changing tide.
CHORUS
The long walks side by side along the quiet road,
The cup of tea in the night,
The tales that were told,
The open arms of welcome and the long embrace,
The understanding in your eyes,
The comfort in your face.
CHORUS
The years they come, they go
And pass so quickly by,
Graced with memories of those who shared their lives,
Their
CHORUS
Loving kindness,
Loving kindness,
Loving kindness.
