Horizons

The place where our sun does both rise and set
seems forever out of reach ...... and yet

if we walk a straight road at a steady pace

will we not reach one day that unreachable place ?

For as far as our own eye is able to see

is the only horizon where we need to be

But when we reach that great line where we see the sun

behold as we look - there's another one

and the goal that we sought on life's tangled track

is now far behind, and we must not look back

For we travel life's road making many mistakes

but if we learn from them all, then it's worth the heartaches

and if we learn from our journey and have faith in God

not treading again where we've already trod

there's a final horizon awaits you and me

with the most beautiful sunset we ever will see
