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
