remove the safety net and pray
to have the courage every day
to trust in God to be with you today
holy Mother, Jesus Christ
let us see through the dark
and know the light will come at dawn
and we'll have the strength to carry on
in time all the forms will fade away
but the Holy spirit will remain
these ashes are just ashes
cosmic dust from infinities space
and we can celebrate the good in life
the love given and received with grace
as this breath does come and go
a sign of life and our soul
and we can be freed and awake
to the higher purpose that awaits
and in time Gods energy will be redeemed
and our life's true reasons will be revealed
til then we can be connected each day
to a thread line of clues
that come when we meditate and pray
and be ever grateful to those who point the way
