Conclusion

Dear Father,

Teach me what I need

Father, I ask not to retrace the pathsOf places I have been;I look not to tomorrowFor more truth than is here today,Nor for direction toAvoid the rugged way.

The ark of safeness

I go to bed happily,For nighttime holds no fear;When I say "good night" at bedtime,I know God's love is here.

Secure

Living Jesus' words,on rock we stand.

Love

Refrain from crying, beloved widow.

Downpour

It's all right to cry.
