O Ever Emerging Dawn in This My Dark Night …

O Lighthouse on hill of tears and mist
    a clearing to the path that leads to the
    inner cloister of Love in which I hope to abide
              life surrendered as
                  self
                  body
                  soul
                  and heart
               for You alone
                  called to be
                  sister
                  wife
                  nurse
                  mother
                  friend
