Poem

Life is but a stopping place

a pause in what’s to be...

A resting place along the road, to sweet eternity.

We all have different journeys

different paths along the way...

We all were meant to learn some things,

but never meant to stay.

Our destination is a place,

far greater than we know…

For some the journey’s quicker

for some the journey’s slow.

But when the journey finally ends

We’ll claim a great reward..

And find an everlasting peace

together with the Lord.
