God-Be-With-Ye, Brother Mine! Poem by Rev. Rebecca Guile Hudson

You’re doing the best you can with what you’ve got
I pray that you always have more than have not

You’ve been truly helpful in numerous ways
Even on the quite hardest, most difficult days

You’ve come such a long way, with still farther to go
I have great faith in you – you’ll get there, I know!

It’s now up to you and your own Higher Power
To garden your soul, help it blossom and flower

‘Til your world’s overrun with your artistic expression
And filled with such light as to vanquish depression

When that time comes, and I’m sure that it will,
You’ll feel alive once again and you’ll know the thrill

Of love and deep friendship with a beautiful woman
And you’ll be glad you were born, glad to be human

So there, in your world, as you get better and better,
Remember – I love you – don’t ever forgetter!
