A Journey | |
Death is but a journey that all men have to take An ending often thought of, when it’s a new life that we make A sadness borne by families & those we leave behind Yet others weep for gladness & a joy we too will find An angel here protects us, & watches carefully & we can feel their presence as we live life prayerfully The scriptures teach us from where we came & how to return one day Our journey would seem meaningless without these to show the way. We learn the path to follow and all the signs that we must heed, The rod to hold least we get lost are all the things we need To take us on this journey from start until the end & Death is just the barrier that keeps us from our friends. Cos they have gone there long ago & watched with anxious breath Mistakes we made on life’s path we took from birth until our death They reach to us with open arms & welcome us with love Not one we knew exists so strong until we reach above Cos father waits for us to come, back home where we belong He only made us take the trip to see if we were strong He needed us to be like him, to trust & learn & grow & that is why our journey starts & ends on earth below. So now you know death frees us all from a world of sin & pain Do not cry for those you lose, just remember what they gain A love, a god, a family & one, which will soon expand As death comes fast upon you & they reach to you their hand. |
