Staying Power #134: "Like the Sea"
How does your love live like the sea?
Today I’m sharing an original song with you. Enjoy my home recording.
LIKE THE SEA
Phyllis Cole-Dai
A song of blessing
When the day is wide And the road is open and clear like blue skies on the plains May your joy increase May your trust abide That kind road is also inside you May friends walk beside you Companion your life Together the way is brighter Each day a prayer No matter tomorrow Today is enough To carry the heart whose love lives like the sea When the winds are strong And the sun is hidden by dark clouds and walls of hard rain Even then, have peace Even then, have hope The light never stops shining inside you May friends surround you And help bear the pain Together the weight is lighter— You’ll find a way No matter tomorrow Today is enough To carry the heart whose love lives like the sea On that day to come When you must go where no others can follow along May you know even then You have never been alone in your life And never will be Love’s gone before you And love will survive You leave behind gardens of love you have grown No matter tomorrow You’ve had rich todays They’ve carried your heart Your love will live on like the sea

MONDAY: “Connecting with the Creative Through Qigong” with Diana Casabar
Poetry Pick-Me-Up (Zoom, Thursday, 12:00-1:00PM Central), at this link)
It has such an upbeat and enjoyably complex rhythm. The words were also terrific and I think sometimes, emotive words get paired with more simple music. Thanks for sharing your gifts and talents!
Very nice! I heard echoes of Sondheim or Andrew Lloyd Webber!
