Blessed Are |
Blessed are the one way ticket holders |
On a one way street. |
Blessed are the midnight riders |
For in the shadow of God they sleep. |
Blessed are the huddled hikers |
Staring out at falling rain, |
Wondering at the retribution |
In their personal acquaintance with pain. |
Blessed are the blood relations |
Of the young ones who have died, |
Who had not the time or patience |
To carry on this earthly ride. |
Rain will come and winds will blow, |
Wild deer die in the mountain snow. |
Birds will beat at heaven’s wall, |
What comes to one must come to us all. |
For you and I are one way ticket holders |
On a one way street. |
Which lies across a golden valley |
Where the waters of joy and hope run deep. |
So if you pass the parents weeping |
Of the young ones who have died, |
Take them to your warmth and keeping |
For blessed are the tears they cried |
And many were the years they tried. |
Take them to that valley wide |
And let their souls be pacified. |
