When I Sleep

When the dawn turns to dusk,
My world suddenly feels right all over again,
For I know when I close my eyes,
You’ll be there next to me,
I could fall a million times
and you would be there to lift me up,
I could cry the sorrows of my life,
And you would comfort me,
I could laugh and you’d be sharing my joy,
I could do all I wanted to do with you
and you’ll be there,
And these are the times I treasure so much,
For the world will rejoice again
at the break of a new day,
And you have left me, no longer there,
I would awake in tears
for in my arms you no longer are,
And till the night comes again,
would I see you,
Where the love of my life returns.

Out In The Fields With God

The little cares that fretted me
I lost them yesterday
Among the fields, above the sea,
Among the winds at play,
Among the lowing of the herds,
The rustling of the trees,
Among the singing of the birds,
The humming of the bees.

The foolish fears of what might happen,
I cast them all away,
Among the clover-scented grass,
Among the new-mown hay,
Among the husking of the corn,
Where drowsy poppies nod,
Where ill thoughts die and good
