RECOMPENSE by EVA L. CRAWFORD

First Line: HE SAID HE WOULD COME TO MEET ME
Last Line: MY LONG LOST PARADISE.
Subject(s): FAITH; BELIEF; CREED;
He said he would come to meet me
When I came over the hill.
I have grown weary of this lonely climb
But I must journey on
Until I reach the highest peak.
Then on some fair and radiant morn
From a great glorious height,
I shall behold him from afar coming
With welcoming outstretched arms.
No longer need I fear the world's alarms
So gently he will take my hand and guide my feet
To where the peaceful valley lies.
Then I shall know that I have found at last --
My long lost paradise.
