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 :)
