My new world will be
A place I have only dreamed of…
Where sunsets
Like my weary soul
Will rise and fall
On waters
That run deep
No storms… no more storms
Ripples of peace and calm…
Trees will comfort me
Rustling leaves will lull me to sleep
Peaceful sleep
Restful sleep
Where dreams will beckon me to
A tomorrow of new beginnings
I cannot wait
To see what joys my future holds…
