My Peace I Give Unto You
Blessed are the eyes that see The things that you have seen, Blessed are the feet that walk The ways where you have been.
Blessed are the eyes that see The agony o f God,
Blessed are the feet that tread The paths his feet have trod.
Blessed are the souls that solve The paradox o f Pain.
A n d find the path that, piercing it, Leads through to peace again.
