Just Over the Way

The smile that you see me wear

Is tinged with sadness, yet

I have had to learn not to care

Overmuch about the vagaries of life

So that a semblance of peace

Can be brought to bear.

But I won’t have to worry about

That when I get home

When I get over there

For I’m going home one day

To the city across the way

And there I’ll see my mother

Whom I have missed so much

And I will be gathered in the sweet embrace

Of my Momma’s touch.

No longer will I be numbered among

The ones that have been left alone

For I will be with countless generations long gone

Ah, I will,  at last, be home

And I will join my forefathers

As we sing hallelujah

Around GOD’s throne.

Yes, I will have made it to that land

The thought of which has kept me going day by day

I’ll be living in that wondrous land

Just over the way.©
