Unreachable

It’s in the way the clouds part at sunset
Softly swirled, the sky spinning above the mountains
Where nestled in old dreams and hopes
The castle of my heart is found
It calls me forward, a gentle whisper of wind
Mysteries of distant lands on the breeze
Just beyond my fingertips

Always unreachable

Labor of Love

Sometimes days are long and hard
Disappointment hangs heavy like a dark cloud
And my spirit seems to shatter
Because those voices can speak so loud

So his smiles are now her treasures
And I fall short of my goals time after time
I can't see the end from the beginning
Making my journey an uphill climb

But the end has been determined
It was bright from the very start
All my paths lead me to green pastures
And the warming of my heart

Like a painter painting
Each stroke, every line
It's a labor of love,
Not a race against time

As I go, it may seem like a mess
But it's right if I'm doing my best

My eternity has already been secured
Once I've learned how to trust in the Lord

So my heart may break all over again
And the storms may howl at my door
It may feel like I never will mend
But there's always a bright hope in store
