Gabriel

Gabriel........
Gabriel.....................
With the wind in your hair of a thousand winters
You will face the headwinds of change and challenge full force.

Gabriel Lewis..............
Gabriel Lewis........................
Seek out the warm and freezing fortunes on high
Ne're fear to tred the high places of the heart and soul.

Fore the love of life will ne're be found without your heart
Open for the joys and sorrows,
To be weathered as a mast with sails torn,
Only to be healed by love and more.....over....and....over....again.

Gabriel, son of my daughter........
Gabriel, my GrandSon, and Grand Sun.
Light my way with you eyes afire
Warm my aging and bitterly cold soul with your warm heart's beating.

Your first smile lit the darkness of all mankind with its glow.
Your first words will set the stage for all mankind with its wisdom.
Your first deed will be kindness to another.
You will be.........Magic!

Gabriel, within you burns the fire of all humanity.
Gabriel, within you rests the cure for all suffering.
You are the light of lights, the path untrodden.
You are, even in your infancy, a man of all seasons.

Breathe deep, my Grandson, and take in the air of the Ancients.
Hold that breath till the fibre of your being disects and devours it.
Recognize the life in everything, the breathing rock, the whispering
wind, the singing stream.
Hold precious in your heart, the purity and beauty of everything that
is.

And....you will see the end...................
You........will see the end.......................................!
