By and By After While

My Grandmother would often sing, “By and By and we will understand after while” But that was always my Grandmother’s Faith style Yet my Grandmother would sing that very song in Church, but she herself knew the words and the church did utter a voice when my Grandmother sang that song By and By Live being every try Struggles that sometimes will make you cry But your eyes up and look high The answer comes from thy It’s the growing understanding phase Through the understanding, you will witness the amaze Heaven is testing one’s Faith Having courage to believe The valley below Living is about and the accomplishments will be slow Wisdom in years as one will continue to grow Understanding with looking for a purpose Reasoning with analyzing When one looks back at their youth, understanding becomes the learning process Living and growing with no time for recess But I would often ask my Grandmother what did the By and By mean? She simply sang in explanation, “By and By, you will understand after while” If you want to understand, “By and By in continue to learn as you live” By and By is worth striving Understanding is worth having Wisdom that becomes everlasting.
