We can be together, you and
I, any time. Just close your eyes and travel
in your mind to a green,
sunny valley, with a little brook meandering
through it, willow trees,
blue skies, a multitude of flowers, fluffy
Bichon clouds, and meadowlarks
singing. Feel the sun on your face, hear
the brook gently flowing
over the polished stones in its path, enjoy the
breeze caressing your arms
and ruffling your hair. There is peace in
this valley, and I am waiting
for you. Follow the brook and smell the
sun-warmed honeysuckle, take
your shoes off and wiggle your toes in the
soft grass. Listen
for humming or soft singing and you will find me
sitting on a big, flat rock,
dangling my feet in the cool water of the
little brook. Come
and sit beside me and we'll face it all together.
Together we are invincible,
inseparable, unsinkable, unshakable, strong
and sure. We will find
God in our quiet valley. He has promised to be
with us always. No
matter what tomorrow holds, we can meet in our valley
and share love and strength
and comfort. And one day when we're absent
from this Earth, we'll be
together in the Promised Land.
I know this to be true and
tell it to you to hold in
your heart as I do.
