Eternity's Sunrise from Eternity's Sunrise by Peter Ostrowski

The happy sound of children’s songs,
Laughter rising from the street
From a world just under the window,
Yet a world a lifetime away.
And happy are we who hear these songs,
The songs we too sang in our youth,
Songs which our mothers sang to us –
The timeless music of Earth.
Happiness finally came to rest,
Universal and infinite,
A happiness we had never found
In the years before our hearts were so young.
The joy of unbound freedom,
The ecstasy of each new dawn –
Waiting for the end of childhood,
We became children again.
Children no longer fearing the dark,
Children no longer running away,
But waking golden in the brilliant light
Of eternity’s sunrise
