Reverend

The Reverend is an honorific style given before the names of certain Christian clergy and ministers. There are sometimes differences in the way the style is used in different countries and church traditions. The Reverend is correctly called a style, but is sometimes referred to as a title, form of address, or title of respect. The style is also sometimes used by leaders in other religions such as Judaism and Buddhism.The term is an anglicisation of the Latin reverendus, the style originally used in Latin documents in medieval Europe. It is the gerundive or future passive participle of the verb revereri ("to respect; to revere"), meaning "[one who is] to be revered/must be respected". The Reverend is therefore equivalent to The Honourable or The Venerable. It … more »

As they sail on dangerous waters of the sea
When wanderers are lost in the deep of the night
Vessels that roam the vastness of the oceans
Like a guardian angel the light guides their ships
Many men gallivant from bed to bed
Filling all but the holes in their hearts
They share their secrets over pillow talk
Like a guardian angel the light guides their ships
I’ve laid with these men stared in their eyes
I’ve carried the weight of their souls
I've kissed their scars and savored their stress
Like a guardian angel the light guides their ships
I’ve held them in my arms and watched them crumble
Being gifted with words like you make me feel safe
They tell me I hope I can see you again
Like a guardian angel the light guides their ships
I provided a home I nurtured their spirits
Prepared the meals that fulfilled their hearts
We both knew their stay would be temporary
Like a guardian angel the light guides their ships
I tire of keeping up the rooms they slept in
In hopes that one day they’d visit once more
Is the lodge not good enough for permanent stay
Like a guardian angel the light guides their ships
I’ve repaired the sails replenished the rations
Added new memories for them to peruse
And yet they still sail onward to nowhere
Like a guardian angel the light guides their ships
Is nowhere that special did I misplace my invitation
Am I not worthy to travel abroad
What is it that they see that eludes my eyes
Like a guardian angel the light guides their ships
How do I show them the pathways ahead
To places I’ve never been do they even exist
They must if these men leave my village with haste
Like a guardian angel the light guides their ships
I am a lighthouse meant to stay in one place
Never to leave the harbor on which I stand
I welcome them then tearfully bid them farewell
Like a guardian angel my light guides their ships
