I rise up
From this mire...

I sit here
In the quiet...

We go through this life
Thinking we've a good bead on it...

A long journey
Has come full circle...

On the mantel
There sits a clock...

You're given life
To embrace..........And to share...

I close my eyes
And I see......you...

I love the rain
As it falls down...

Have you ever
Watched a child...

I've watched the news
And...I've been in prayer...

I watch
As the dawn greets the day...

I ride out
Across the valley...
