łA Hundred
Away˛
August 18, 1999
A life of a separate
race of time.
We doted on days and
moments supplied
And continued our
indefinite climb.
We came upon joy and
anger and sadness,
But the thought that
remained was just one:
If you could turn
all your tears into rays of sun,
Weąd take a hundred
away, each one.
We climbed many
hills and hit the plains.
We rested,
continued, and tried it again.
A force of that
nature cannot be denied,
But itąs not up to
us to say when.
Where some people
drop, others will stay,
And some souls will
never be done.
They turn their
tears into rays of light
And take a hundred
away, each one.
Take comfort, my
friend, thereąs so much to learn.
Our day can be
stretched to a year.
A year in a decade,
an era of time
Is something that
never holds fear.
A long way to go in
an era of days,
Keep leading
yourself to the sun.
Turn those cold
tears into rays of shine
And take a hundred away,
each one.
