Out On the Horizon

I see out on the horizon
My love lays waiting for me
Who she is, I don’t know yet
But she is my destiny
I don’t know how far I’ll go before I do meet her
I just know that she’s out there, somewhere in my future

I see out on the horizon
Success lays waiting for me
All the failures I have experienced
Will just be history
I don’t know how far I’ll go before I reach the golden ring
I just know I’ll grab that jewel before retiring

I see out on the horizon
A peaceful life lays waiting for me
All the chaos and confusion now
Will be replaced by serenity
I don’t know how far I’ll go before the calming of the storm
I just know when I do get there I’ll no longer feel forlorn

I see out on the horizon
Good deeds lay waiting for me
To show my appreciation 
I’ll donate to charity
I don’t know how far I’ll go before I start my payments back
I just know I’ll pay interest and on that you can bet as fact

Today I take my first steps 
Towards the horizon in front of me
There are no more excuses
For delaying my journey
I’m the only one who can get me there as the pilot of my ship
If I can help you reach your horizons too, come and join me on my trip

Love it....love the positive message and resolute intentions (especially that fourth stanza)....how could one not be inspired by at least trying to follow such an example? Perfectly scripted for a brand new year! (ps...thanks so much for catching my editing error....no one besides you had caught that mishap!! I appreciate it very much!!) :) Happy New Year, Joe!!

Good that you can see such good things in the future..We all have hope as long as there is life..If we speak good things over our lives, they should come to pass..Enjoyed reading your very optimistic work this afternoon..Thanks for the info about the pig..Did not know that it could not move backwards..They are like a dog in that they don't have sweat glands so I have been told....Sara
