The Unknown Plan
The sun rises ... |
The sun sets ... darkness follows day. |
Each man is longing for a song, holding out his empty hand, |
wandering in a circle. reaching for a hand to lead, |
peering through the shadows. |
| weeping . . . while he plays. |
aching . . . while he hurries. |
| What holds the answer? |
| Just to understand and know why I am here, |
| and where I am going . . . will give me roots which sink, |
| grasping the fabric of each day. |
What unknown plan called my soul from eternity's cradle, |
| lifting me from gray shadows . . . |
| to live this golden day? |
Dallas Beth Williams Gibson written - 1968
