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.
