Denise was a year older than me. We were childhood friends as she lived close to us. My thoughts and prayers to her children and grandchildren.

Flame of fire
Flame of light
Bring to me the gift
Of second sight
The answers I seeks
Show to me.
Bless me know to clearly see
Enlighten what is dark in me
Strengthen what is weak
Mend what’s broken.
Bind what’s bruised
heal what’s sick
and lastly
Revive whatever peace and love
has died in me.
I give you thanks for all you do
for obstacles and smooth roads too
for challenges that make me grow
and all the pleasant things that show
that you are looking after me
I thank you Ancients
Blessed to be
By Denise M. Trowbridge
