Great Distances

The world seems larger every day,

The distances so great.
When it’s still early where I live,
Elsewhere it’s very late.
 
I could not walk across my state,
Much less across this land.
The thought of circling the globe…
That I can’t understand.
 
It would take months of days and nights
To walk here to there,
And I’m not certain, once arrived,
That I’d strength to spare.
 
Yet, for the distances that earth,
And can boldly boast and claim,
God is no farther than a prayer
To those who call His name.
