No Place To Hide

My parents belonged to an obscure religious sect,
you had to decide what you thought was correct;
you will never know, I knew by given instruction,
that I was my own person with good direction.

I have taken all of this knowledge from yesterday,
with devastating effect so nothing stands in my way,
not to reject, but on the contrary, to accept many
thoughts, from you and others almost every day.

Make me a channel of your peace, someone said,
I had that and was told to rise from my bed;
I see my father and mother in golden rainbows,
and hold their hands wherever spirituality goes.

I thank them for showering me with magic gifts,
and know they're both there whenever my spirit lifts.
