all your yearnings are not in vain
they are bringing you strength
to fully know that there is joy
to celebrate the reward with love
that slowly
from a far horizon
draws near
breath by breath it comes

the nightmare has almost run its course
years of pain are slowly dissipating
your reward is almost upon you
and I with it

be content for now
knowing it is true
and your dreams
will be fulfilled
a warm hug to change
your tears of anguish
to tears of happiness
