Far off Lands

Despite the beauty of far off lands

In the middle of a sea of sand

all i can think of how I wish

you were here to hold my hand.


The sun is setting behind distant dunes.

Red sand, blue tunes.

Memories of past times a thought a tear;

amid tranquility, a constant fear

that i will never again have you near.


Three years is a long time to hope and pine

knowing not whether you are fine.

Yes, in School you are the best

but this does not help me rest.


I will find a way to let you know

that despite the change from day to night

I will always be there somewhere come what may

to use as a compass or as a light.


As I look out over this desert land

I see in the distance you and me

We are smiling I hold your hand

Not a hope built on sand

but the truth of a promised land.
