Life is a Journey
Life is a journey for us ordained
By our creator from heaven above
On a destined road and by him sustained
With fatherly care and abounding love
At times the journey has unwonted trends
Over terrains that are seemingly steep;
How pleasing it is when we’ve rounded the bends
And emerged from depths formidably deep.
Some carry great burdens along the way
Sickness, misfortune and crosses to bear;
Some are oppressed, some wander and stray
But obstacles all succumb to a prayer.
Be the journey short or road may be long
The Lord will call us, discounting our years
And welcome us back to where we belong
To a home without sorrow and tears.
Our forebears of old reached happy demise
And journeyed thank god with temporal ease;
Their beautiful souls found true paradise
With life Eternal and heavenly peace.
This is a journey we all have to make
While bearing in mind the end that shall be
Without any choice but one road to take
To travel upon to Eternity.
