Eternal Soul

I look at you and wonder How is it you made it through You must have had some battles And won at least a few A thousand lines across your face Say you’ve been here awhile And I wasn’t surprised to learn You've traveled many a mile Yes, time has left its mark on you And your body is bent and old But there is something that time can’t touch It is what is commonly called your soul It puts the sparkle in your eye And the love light in your heart Yes, the body grows old and dies Before your soul departs It goes we know not where When that time arrives The body is buried and gone forever But the soul is free and remains alive So never fear the onslaught of age You still have places to go When it is time to shed the body It shall free your eternal soul
