I reach out to the Universe And it envelops me I feel secure and loved in its vastness.

I cry out to the Universe And its Creator hears me I feel secure in His loving arms.

You are all there is You are all I need Never let me go.

Stay close to me, I plead. I need You so badly. You say, Child, I will never leave you.

I feel so blessed. My happiness overflows I cannot contain it.

The Universe knows my need And fills it. All I need do is ask.
