Wink Everlasting

Through a naked pecan tree
The Morning Star winked at me
Though now I see it is gone
My heart tells me it shines on
Beyond sunshine behind rain

Tomorrow if there is one
It will wink at me again
And even if there is not
In my heart shines this bright spot
Through a naked pecan tree

Pinpoint puncturing of light
From the Morning Star to me
Hopeful still of happiness
After a bad day sad night
I never give up I guess

Hoping against common sense
Confidence is recompense
When the Morning Star comes by
Winking encouragingly
To dreamers watching the sky

When something goes wrong you find out who your friends are
When everything goes wrong you find yourself alone
My present is uncertain my future unknown
But shining on in my heart winks the Morning Star
