It Is Time That We Saw The Sun Rise Together (1981)

Written for a good friend on the eve of her wedding

 

I knew my old path,

And we go now, forever
As songs unbroken by the silence.

Please treat the distance I have traveled alone
Before you, before us,
With care.

It is the me that I want you to know well,
Please count our steps forward
As blessings from God.

Rhyme me a river to follow alongside our road,
The waters will fill our hearts
And quench our unspoken thirst.

The river cannot dry away,
It will be filled with appreciation
And love.
