On my Soul

Francisco Gomes de Matos – TRANSCEND Media Service
Rhymed Reflection
Although my SOUL I can´t see
It is a deep PRESENCE in me
Although my SOUL I can´t hear
Its voice tells me: Have no fear
Although my SOUL I can´t reach
I´m blessed: soulfully I can teach
Although concrete things about my SOUL I can`t say
I am blessed : as a human being ,soulfully I can pray
Although physically Death I can`t survive
I´m blessed : spiritually I´ll always be alive
