Grandmother Waits For You

Grandmother waits for you with a pair of new shoes
In a land where the leaves never brown
The hills are scattered with empty wheelchairs
And hearing aids thrown to the ground
The long night is over
The shadow has passed and farewells forever are done
No more fear, no more cold
Earth and sky painted gold
In the land where we'll never grow old
The peacock and snake, the wolf and the lamb
All creatures find peace in time
These perfect white shores are littered with jewels falling like rain from the sky.
Mother and baby walk into the waves no longer fearing the tides
