LIFE’S JOURNEY

 

The thing that I must do today,

Is to take another step upon life’s way,

I must make sure that my step is firm,

And that my feet do not slide away.

 

For the highway of life is very narrow,

And many sirens are calling to me,

I must press on to reach my destiny,

To the place where I hope one day to be.

 

It is the place to where all redeemed souls will go,

A resting place for those who have shown they care,

No one knows where eternity is to be found,

But I’m sure the highway to life will lead me there.

 

Some people think it is a place where the streets are paved with gold,

Where the music of heavenly choirs will abound,

I prefer to think of it as a haven of solitude,

Where peace and tranquillity will be found.

 

When I first set upon this journey,

I could not be sure that my feet would endure,

But by day my confidence has grown,

Now, I know that eternity will be mine for sure.

 

This is the place where there is room for all,

Those who are able to ignore the distractions on life’s way,

Now could be a good time to start the journey,

Why don’t you take your first steps today?
