Listen! I hear eternity.
It's sounds fall all around me--
In the patient plodding of people
Who hope for something better,
In the cry of a newborn baby,
Whose voice is heard
From birth to forever--
The song of millions,
The exhultant, joyous chorus of life!
If you can listen for it,
If you can see beyond the veil
And hear what Earth alone
Can never speak--
This transient cargo
Has a destination,
This human clay a purpose
Beyond a simple few years--
You'll hear and see and know
That Eternity is calling--
And it always says
"I Am."
