This Solstice day we make a wish
The Sun within to shine without
To manifest and voice aloud
Desires, goals we seek and fish.
Our open hearts and hands, a dish
Accepting blessings’ filling flow.
Regardless of the winds that blow,
Still, deep within remains the Light,
Through Solstice day and darkest night:
Our Life, Creator, Pow’r of Love!


Written for
KL Caley’s #Writephoto Prompt, The Fisherman
and
Ronovan Writes Décima Poetry Challenge Prompt No. 62: (BLOW) in the C rhyme line.

Recorded with set of 4 Koshi chimes, Zaphir Sunray/Summer chime, and Egg of Creation shaker.

“Faith of Our Fathers” #Music

Download “Faith of Our Fathers” Mp3

Today we celebrate Father’s Day in the United States. I wish all fathers and father figures a blessed, peaceful, and joyous day! And I pray each one of us feels the love of our Heavenly Father, today and every day!

“Faith of Our Fathers” is a beautiful Catholic hymn. Frederick William Faber wrote the text in 1849. The most common melody heard in the United States is “St. Catherine” by Henri F. Hemy.

I hope you enjoy this hymn, played on ukulele and viola, with accompanying shakers: A tiny rain stick, Little Spirit pear branch, Harmony Ball earth sphere, and Rhythm rock.

Happy Father’s Day!

I wrote this song in 2015. You can listen to the ukulele version with lyrics
here.

Today’s lovely instrumental is played on Ocean Drum, double strung harp, cowrie shell shaker, and Oriole (soprano) recorder. These instruments work especially well in this piece. I hope you enjoy it!

Refrain:
Happy birthday
To the Truth in you!

1. Your birthday is your earth day this run through,
A good time to remind yourself
What really makes you you,
A perfect day to celebrate
The Infinite in you.
Your birthday is your earth day this run through.
Refrain:

2. Your birthday is a way to mark your life,
And move you on the path that’s drawn
By God who knows the rhyme
And reason for the season
You are living in this time.
Your birthday is a way to mark your life.
Refrain:

3. Your birthday is a mirth day for your soul
That knows your place in time and space
And what you’re here to show.
The Infinite is still in it,
O you are not alone.
Your birthday is a mirth day for your soul.
Refrain: (Twice)
