Fractions of Forever

If I leave you for a year, I'll be content to know, Within another hemisphere You set the night aglow And when I'd close my eyes to sleep, To God I make my plea, In dreams allow my heart to leap The distance 'cross the sea A year is, sadly, more than never, But little in degree, What is a fraction of forever? We have eternity Whatever we may think or say, Whatever we may do, Wherever on this Earth I stray, I will return to you
