When They Finally See

The time will come for everyone
To finally see the sky
The blanket warmth of yellow sun
And breezes blowing by

The gentle fade from dark to light
The moonlight’s sad goodbye
The way the stars adorn the night
And greet the passerby

The clouds that bring back memories
When dreams were still in reach
The calm and peaceful liberties
That nature seems to preach

The colors born in summertime
That age throughout the year
With beauty spoken not in rhyme
And heard not by the ear

But seen when sunlight breaks at dawn
And saturates the skies
When pain and foolish doubt are gone
And peace shines in their eyes

Yet when they finally see the sky
A sadness will arrive
For letting beauty pass them by
The years they were alive
