“O Perfect Love” #Music
This is a prayer hymn that was written for, and is often still sung at Christian wedding ceremonies. Dorothy F. Gurney wrote the lyrics in 1883 for her sister’s wedding. In 1889 Joseph Barnby composed the melody most commonly heard today.

Light #Decima #Poem
Light, the Source of all created,
Substance of our fate and fortune.
Grab a lantern; bring a torch in!
We may know, yet still debate it.
Light! The One for whom we’ve waited–
Not “out there,” but deep inside us:
Spark that Providence provided.
Where is yours? O let it shimmer!
Vanquish darkness with a glimmer!
Light! The One we all reside in!

Breaking Swiftly #Poem
We pray for change to come… and fast!
We wait and wait for pain to pass.
We try and try until, at last,
We rest, resigned, to what we have.
Then, swiftly changes break like Spring!
Now, what to do with these new things?!

Is Nature a fool?
No! With a head for business,
She works for the Good!
