ISLAND IN THE SUN

ISLAND IN THE SUN

Somewhere lost in time,
Is an island in the sun
Where all the wars are over,
A place where God has won.

I don’t know how to find it
But think the map at hand
I think it is the Bible,
Best seller of the land.

I read it on the ocean voyage,
That took me across the sea
I read it in the trenches,
It seemed to comfort me.

I read it to my children,
As they sat upon my knee
I’ve read it all my life,
But never found the key.

I still think it’s in the Bible,
Hidden from my mind
When at the door of Heaven
I hope the key I find.
