blessed (for a.i.r.'72) i thought that every step i took was broke when every heartbeat echoed a despair and wounded thus seemed far beyond repair i oft cry out, but on the words i choke dark shadows haunt what sadness never spoke each daily trial near more than i could bear when trouble lingers, heartbreak everywhere life's flame near died, its fire i could not stoke but deep within sounded an earnest plea that knew my soul still craved return to light though bitter tears might blind my power to see and nearly caged me in the darkest night a still small voice proclaimed i'd yet be free a power would reign to vanquish wrong with right ~ redemption lay in stories ages old of one who watches every step you take abiding love that never will forsake your life, though all around seems dark and cold His strength as guide shall let your path unfold through everything that seems to bend and break let mercy prove a balm for deepest ache His presence offer constant hand to hold no more the load to carry all alone no more shall be by weight of grief distressed for Heaven's light now in this heart is shone belief now in this life is full expressed for every prior failing shall atone to know that i by Heaven's love am blessed ~ the light of love and mercy shall attest forever will i be by Heaven blessed rjh 19aug2026 ~ content and style inspired by AI Rockstar '72, "The Broken Road" https://suno.com/song/b9aefe04-b792-4b9a-854d-53b37cb71c90 illustration by rjh and chat-gpt 5.6 sol (light) special thanks to AI Rockstar '72 ... as always ... for his many gifts of song ... 🙏
