Just Within Reach

Just within reach, is a whole new world
I wake up to meet each morning
With nothing to lack, I plan my attack
And take the world without warning

Just within reach, is a "Help wanted" sign
And I know the job's mine for the taking
And it doesn't matter if I'm the Boss
Or even the lawn just needs raking

Just within reach, Is a pretty young girl
Who's smile will fill my life
And wakes up like me, to conquer this world
And pledges to be my dear wife

Just within reach, Is the hand of The Christ
The day that I feel all alone
Just within reach, is the love that He gives
As He guides my way, back home

Just within reach

A sweet poem in a man' day, Jerry. He is in love with his life, his God and his girl. What more can a simple life ask? A 7. Kim :)
