Milestones

Life's first milestone For everyone the same Brought forth from the womb And given a name Vast ranges of childhood From first words to first date Next comes Graduation Then choosing a mate The milestones of life One by one, we pass them by Marking off our journey Looking forward, not behind The milestones of life Some bring laughter, some bring tears Let Jesus lead your way Travel's lighter without fear Many milestones, passed by Several more yet to come Race to the hospital Labor has begun Now a family of five Busy days, how they've flown Before we know it Children are grown The milestones of life One by one, we pass them by Marking off our journey Looking forward, not behind The milestones of life What lies beyond the next bend? Ask Jesus to go with you Travel's safer with a friend Grandchildren, such blessings Our rewards of old age The body grows weaker Life's book turns a page Just one milestone left It's so hard to believe Say farewell to loved ones Time now to leave. The milestones of life One by one, we pass them by Marking off our journey Looking forward, not behind The milestones of life One day their trail will cease If Jesus is your guide You'll arrive in perfect peace
