I RAISED MY EYES
I raised my eyes to yonder heights,
And longed for lifting wings,
To bear me to their sunlit crests,
As on my spirit sings,
And though my feet must keep the paths,
That wind along the valley's floor,
Yet after every upward glance
I'm stronger than before,
The light of the heavens symbolizes the ideals of the heart,
That though we may never reach our inner faith restores,
For the unrelenting struggle to reach the light is what makes all the difference in the end.
