IT IS ENOUGH, by                    
First Line: I do not ask to know what yonder lies
Last Line: For me to know that joys are greater there.
Subject(s): Heaven; Paradise


I do not ask to know what yonder lies
Behind the mist that comes with sunset's glow;
But I have seen a glory in the skies
At eventime; I've seen the flowers grow.
I've walked in clean white snow; I've heard the rain,
And watched the trees that leafed and bloomed in spring;
I've lingered by a brook that rippled by,
And listened to a mating robin sing.
I've lived and laughed, and wept to laugh again;
I've known a joy that followed deep despair;
Whatever the mist conceals, it is enough
For me to know that joys are greater there.
