Wavelets of Time
by Richard Schletty ©2004

Born years ago to a family,
fashioned from stardust and slime.
Spirits of nature have carried me
over the wavelets of time.

This I know, having seen and heard,
tasted, touched, absorbed
a million sense impressions:
Life is good, life is hard,
life is wild, but worth the living.

Amazing Grace
by John Newton (1725-1807)

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.

T'was Grace that taught my heart to fear.
And Grace, my fears relieved.
How precious did that Grace appear
The hour I first believed.

The Lord has promised good to me.
His word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures.

Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come;
'Tis Grace hath brought me safe thus far
and Grace will lead me home.

When we've been here ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun.
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we'd first begun.
