A Thousand Ugly Miles
I have walked a thousand ugly miles upon an earth filled with broken dreams.
I have seen the dark side of man and have held onto hope by tattered seams.
Though there are days in which the darkness of my soul it should try to slay.
I hold out; I preserver for now in distant dreams I see a brighter day.
I have drank my share of the bitter cup from natures bitter vine.
I have tasted hurt, yet I hold out my hope and dreams for another in time.
For she came to me upon a cloud from a far and very distant land.
She smiled and made me smile to where my heart again understands.
Some say that angels do not exist;
some feel them, yet to their soul they resist.
yet only to this heart should this simple man cleave.
That there are angels in distant lands that should to a simple soul give reprieve.
