By your side
There is peace,
A quiet place
Of beauty and realisation,
Where wisdom
Seeks reason and understanding,
Where myth is laid to rest
By the reality of knowledge.
By your side
There is hope,
That arrogance and greed
Will not destroy,
That selfless love
Will prevail.
By your side
Life is sacred,
A future
For the children
To unfold.
By your side
In your presence
There is love.
