Somewhere Over the Horizon
Melita Catalina Warren 1949 (Kansas)
Somewhere over the horizon there's a start
Where we open a different door.
On a new journey we will depart,
Creating adventures all adore.
Our dreams we follow and chart,
Moving forward with no encore.
Do not ever upset the apple cart,
Rather, seek an erudite mentor.
Open your mind, soften your heart,
Nobody wants to keep score.
In green pastures meadowlark dart,
We sleep soundly, ask no more
Yes. Somewhere over the horizon , a start,
Heaven our roof. Earth our floor.
We reunite again, no longer apart.
We meet on that faraway shore!
