Todd W. Dronet

Look Beyond Today

There is a landscape larger than the one within our view
If we can only look beyond the old to find the new
If we can understand each day that time is on our side
That with a little effort hope will help turn the tide
For there is a landscape larger than the one which we can see
Where the sun is shining brighter, and true joy waits patiently.
