Analysis of Many Miles And More Away



Many miles and more,
I am away.
With wishes to want,
Encouraging words...
You could hear me say.
From one human being to another.

I don't understand or can comprehend,
Why it is you are there.
Enduring without end,
What has begun to begin.
But faith to keep it kept,
Is a powerful tool to use.
Although these words spoken,
Many miles and more away.
Know that there is a God.
Closer to you.
Than ever I could wish to want to be.

Many miles and more away,
I pray.
For you.
For me.
And for us to keep trust and not despair!
