Evangeline's Journey

Beloved Evangeline

Dearly beloved, we see the light;
We see all things are beautiful,
It captures us with pure delight.
All things are good: food for the soul.

We see the beauty of the list.
And suddenly some things have changed,
You just fade away like a mist,
This is how nature is arranged.

Guide us, stay, and never leave me,
Blaze the trail in our gloomy days
Take it whatever it will be
Along the shores and in the bays,

In our slumber, we hear you speak;
In the breaking of the pale dawn
Along the park and in the lake
To us happily on the lawn.

You see life in a baby's face, 
In a troubled world's countenance,
In all the faces as we gaze
Through the wide windows in a glance.

And now commences your journey
To a place called the Paradise
Where there is joy and eternity,
For the achievement, this is your price.
