I am grateful to see for miles
beyond my window,
but I long to see
even farther.
I am thankful for the spiritual
understanding I have gained, but
help me, dear God, to see
beyond the earthly scene—
beyond weakness to strength
beyond sorrow to joy
beyond tumult to calm
beyond belief to understanding
beyond resentment to love
beyond pride to humility
beyond mortality to immortality
beyond earth to heaven.
