Grace
by Alun Buffry (August 2026)
I’m here, I know, through Divine Grace,
A member of the Human Race,
A body, soul, a mind and face,
A Blessed Lifetime I can trace.
I hope to stay here for while
And walk about, many more miles
And try to make you others smile,
And even laugh, once in a while.
Even though I’ve shed some tears,
When I think I’ve lost a loved one dear,
I know my time will come, I must not fear,
Let’s drink to that, some tea or beer!
For there beyond that mystery wall,
Where we will rise, we will not fall,
That Light Divine, will make its call,
For us to enter where goes it all.
Life sometimes seems just like a dream,
Not always seeming as it seems,
Inside the darkness, always a beam,
Though I wondered what it all means.
For Grace, I need the gratitude,
Whatever feelings, whatever my mood,
That Light that shines offers a clue,
Of times ahead I must go through,
For me it’s not about that time,
For now’s the time for me to shine,
For here and now we are Divine,
On Planet Earth, gracefully mine.
POSITIVITY
by Alun Buffry (2015)
Always to be found in this the same place,
Throughout our universe of time and space,
On I will travel, at my own pace,
Can you now see it, in my face?
Never to question how or why,
Upon this earth I find I,
Content and amazed beneath earth's sky,
Yet soaring above white clouds on high.
Hidden within us there is a clue.
It looks like I, it looks like you
For once we were one and that is true,
Now one of so many amongst quite a few.
There is a Love, there is a Light,
Forget any guilt, ignore any fright,
Focus within on a wondrous sight,
The future is now and it's ever so Bright.
THANK YOU
by Alun Buffry, May 1982
Thank you my Lord,
For showing me Light.
Thank you my Lord,
For putting me right.
Thank you my Lord,
For Divine Harmony.
Thank you my Lord
For rescuing me.
Thank you my Lord,
For your Holy Word.
Tie me, oh Lord,
With your Holy Cord.
Thank you my Lord,
For Nectar so sweet.
Thank you my Lord,
For your Holy Feet.
Thank you my Lord,
For showing the way.
I pray you my Lord,
In your Grace I can stay.
Thank you my Lord,
For your Constant Love.
Hold me my Lord,
In your blissful glove.
Thank you my Lord,
For all that's within.
For lifting me out
Of an ocean of sin.
I pray you my Lord,
To bless me with sight,
And shine through me Lord,
All day and all night.
I pray you my Lord,
To carry me through,
All my mind's mountains
And return to you.
Without you my Lord,
I know I'll be lost
And on I will wonder
At my own life's cost.
Thank you my Lord,
And thank you again,
For harmonious colours
Of the sweet Holy Name
