How many times will my gratitude speak
when gifts of love fall at my feet?
How many times will I stop to say,
beloved dear heart, I am glad you stayed?
How many arms will I open wide,
when my love I can no longer hide?
How much love will it take to heal,
how much longer till I get to feel?
How often will my joy increase,
how many times will I offer you peace?
How much love will it take to grow
until it is time for me to go?
How much service can I give,
to thank you for this new way to live?
How much love does it take to be guessing
how much I needed forgiveness, confessing?
How many lifetimes before I grow
into following this path with the silence I know?
How many sunsets will it take
before I surrender, before I break?
After the silence, the surrender comes…
I find my sacred song on the tip of my tongue.
How many ways can I say thank you?
