The tyranny of Distance

I love living in the countryside
I love this country; nationwide!
I love my family so very much!
I love my grandsons
They are my treasure!
Sometimes I wish we lived closer
Better yet; they lived closer to me
But the tyranny of distance
Is a real curse; I suppose death is worse
Then I'd never get to see them
Never hear their precious laughter
So dear Lord I ask: somehow
Help us to stay in touch
Help us all to grow closer
Help us overcome the tyranny
Of this hot wide land of ours
Let our hearts and mind connect
Let us love and be direct
In our faith to you dear Lord above
Guide us all with Thy dear love!
