Aralldaear

I See

Countless trees sparkle in green abundance

Their branches dance to spirit tunes

An ensemble of gentle breezes

Their games swirl sauntering clouds

Into trailing tails of wisp

Admiring an ocean of undulating dreams

A web of water spins its way across the endless hills

Given with purpose and promise, liquid life touches all

The rocks and stones and pebbles, molded into truth

Feeding the beginning, but with obligation through covenant

Spawning lush and plentiful opportunities

Rich earth awaits its master

Upright men who forge freedom with ax and plow

Destiny awaits, toil brings liberty

And life, peace, joy, infinite reward

More riches than kings, dark earth has and brings

A mansion to prepare, in sod house and hard labor

In Aralldaear, the New World

Pilgrims flock to start anew

Fresh faces, weathered by persecution and loss

Strong backs, energized by faith

Serenity has found a home in their hearts

Welcomed and given shelter with open arms

Hope illumines valleys in their eyes

More precious than gold is the joy they share freely

In Aralldaear, Land of Beginnings

Space enough and to spare

Fertile field aplenty

My boy will live the life I touched only in my dreams

With tree rings of soul to match the oldest new-world oak

And these eyes will witness it

And this heart will be full

Oh God of Heaven, name Thy price

In Aralldaear, I’ll gladly pay the Debt
