Some pilgrims take the high road
Walking sunlit butterfly pastures
Treading sweet grass meadows
Never doubting, resolute in faith
...
Happiness is fleeting
Gone before we realize
Gentle wind blowing free
Never held, lost and swept away.
...
Let God be in my thinking
Navigating the way
Light within engulfing darkness
Truth of my salvation.
...
We all must die
Nothing lasts forever
All falls in the end.
...
I have loved you for many years
And should you die before me
There would such grief I could not bear
Because after you entered my life
...
Cruel ghosts from my past haunt the hours
Shaming heart, torturing the soul
Memories of love and bad decisions
Crushing spirit into despair.
...
In times to come
There will be peace ever lasting
No more hate for race or creed.
...
Stands on palace balcony
Saluting troops marching bye
His sanity long gone asunder.
...
I hear your voice
Music to my soul
And all seems well and good
With all fears gone
...
