How Far Away

Somewhere, over the horizon,
A morning dawns it's brightest day;
A time when all is born anew,
The beginning of another day ...

Where love unfurls it's golden glow
And life is filled with beauty,
Where kindness crowns the sunrise
and removes an endless duty.

Somewhere, at the closing of today,
A lovely evening will come.
All pain and tears will disappear
At the setting of our sun.

Warmth will stay, never go away,
No night of aching grief.
No snow will chill, to bring forth fear,
And sleep will be a true relief.

Somewhere, beyond confines of time,
A day will rise forever bright;
A day that has no dawn or dusk.
God's presence, there, will be the light.

By eyes of faith, we see aurora,
Where spirits live; no clumsy flesh.
We'll never find this gleam on earth.
For, this world is just our test.

Someday, somewhere, God will create
The lovely freshness of another day
With all the colors of the rainbow
And it's just a breath away!
