Amazing Grace
(Marooned in Maroon)
This is for those who may have been lost
Tossed in the tempest of a raging sea
Castaway in the loneliest of places
When at times no one heard their plea
May you find your way back home
With resolve for solution and redemption
Destiny can be a little cruel sometimes
But it too gives us a better perception
May the winds of fate carry you to shores
Where you will find your personal salvation
Attain the dreams and goals you deserve
And to push you forward with inspiration
May the passage of time heal your wounds
For the scars will remain as lessons learned
Reminders of the past life now recovered
For battles won and lost like medals earned
May the horizon bring a sense of peace
After this isolation has finally passed
Reconnect with your family and friends
Making sure the new good times will last
May you find your purpose and destiny
With a sense of enlightenment and clarity
Once you’re past these difficult times
You’ll be able to enjoy a new prosperity
Some endings are not always endings
But new beginnings we must embrace
And if you are still marooned in maroon
Then I hope you find your amazing grace

Thank you Jennifer.
The arrangers for this show intertwined the theme/end song from Castaway and Amazing Grace. So it seemed fitting that something to offer hope seemed fitting for the last entry.
Hope you had a great journey too with this challenge.

Thank you PR, and thanks for adding to your RL. The subtitle (the color on the corps' uniforms) was a play on word with the theme.

Dear W,
A beautiful and touching piece. I think you all have done a spectacular job in the NaPo comp and this piece is a stunning representation of that. Last line not withstanding this phrase “Some endings are not always endings
But new beginnings we must embrace ” is a great outlook on hope. Congratulations on the comp and lovely poem. H🌷

Thank you for that kind comment Honoria,
The music was inspiring, but this last one had a special meaning. The NaPo challenge presented many opportunities, but I loved bringing in pieces (music programs) that were a part of my life for so many years.
