Joseph Smith Poet ABC

To Fly Away

"I WILL FLY AWAY TO A PLACE
WHERE NO ONE KNOWS MY NAME,

"A PLACE THAT IS NEVER
THE SAME."

"TO A BEAUTIFULL SUNSHINE
AND A GLOW TO
EACH DAY,

"FOR TO LISTEN
TO WHAT EVERYONE
HAS TO SAY."

"NOT TO LOOK BACK
BUT TO ONLY KEEP
THE MEMORYS INTACT
IN MY BRAIN,

"FOR TO HEAR THE
BEAUTY OF THE
FALLEN RAIN."

"NO CRYS OR TEARS CAN
BE HEARD,

"TO LISTEN TO THE WIND BLOWING
AND THE SOARING OF A BIRD."

"CIRCLING FOR FOOD
TO EAT,

"PERCHING ON MY
SHOULDER TO TAKE
A SEAT."

"ONLY TO FLY AWAY
WITHOUT ANY HURT OR PAIN,

"ALL THE ILLNESSES GOING AWAY
TO A WALL LEANING ON IT
WITH A CANE."

"BEING HAPPY AND
FULL OF LIFE,

"AS I AM HAND IN HAND
WITH MY WIFE."

"TO NEVER LET HER GO
AS SHE STARTED HER JOURNEY
BEFORE ME,

"FOR ONE DAY THE CLOUDS WILL 
SUBSIDE AND THE SHADOWS WILL 
GO AWAY, AND MY VISION WILL BECOME
MUCH MORE CLEARER FOR ME TO SEE.
