Lori Lieberman - My Baby Needs A Shepherd

"Grace"

As we gather in the Chapel, in olde Kilmainham jail

I think about the last few weeks, oh will they say, we failed

From our school days, they have told us, we must yearn for Liberty

Yet all I want in this dark place, is to have you here with me.

Oh Grace, just hold me in your arms and let this moment linger

They'll take me out at dawn, and I will die

With all my Love, I place this wedding ring upon your finger

There won't be time to share our love, so we must say goodbye.

Now I know it's hard for you, my love, to ever understand

The Love I bear for these brave men - my Love for this dear land

But when Padraic called me to his side, down in the G.P.O.

I had to leave my own sick bed - to him I had to go.

Now the dawn is breaking, my heart is breaking, too

On this May morn', as I walk out, my thoughts will be of you

And I'll write some words, upon the walls, so everyone will know

I Loved so much that I could see - His blood upon the rose.

Oh Grace, just hold me in your arms. . .

"Desiderata"

    

              Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.  Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and ignorant; they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the Spirit.  If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble, it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.  Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery.  But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals; and every where life is full of heroism.  Be yourself.  Especially do not feign affection.  Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment, it is as perennial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth.  Nurture strength of Spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.  But do not distress yourself with imaginings.  Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.  Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars, you have a right to be here.  And whether or not it is clear to you, the universe is unfolding as it should.  Therefore, be at Peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be.  And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life~keep Peace with your Soul.  With all its sham and drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful.  Strive to be happy.

"Child of October"

And in some distant winter,

of his life, he prayed it would be written:

Here was a man, 

at peace with his thoughts.

A man of few words,

who drew more truth from the gentle rains,

than from the words of other men.

Here was a child of October,

educated by November.

A man who treasured the wisdom

in the

Autumn's Silence.

Here was a man of the Fall,

who, like the Season,

was mindful of his limitations,

yet gave all that he had to give,

freely.

Here was a man,

touched by every person, place, and thing

he chanced to touch.

And ripened

by it all.
