My Song

by Joanne Bessom

Mountains are gathered all around me
In colors of green and gold
The sun's light shines through my window
That comes to warm my soul

To sail on a dream of mine
To cross this wide open land
To be part of another beginning
In trying to understand

Home is three thousand miles away
It's in the back roads of my memories
This here and now is what I have
In the discovering of what will be

So let the sun keep shining
Let the mountains sing
I'll keep on keeping on
And have my song to sing
