Standing At the Door

They both woke early that day preparing for what's ahead Both walking the same way to a place that they were lead The woman was slightly older with a slight smile on her face The younger one was much colder and knew little of grace As they came to the light the two woman were now side by side Neither in the others sight but the light to which they both abide As the light soon turned the crowd started crossing the street Only later had she learned that this was the lady that she'll meet Now they were almost side by side one was looking up, one down And that is the reason she tried in seeing that young girls frown Seeing the lady's sincere smile she too responded in kind as well In now talking for a while, well, her whole story she began to tell Before long they were there, both were going to the same place As both became painfully aware, often God works through Grace Looking at that door and then turning back to the woman's way Asking if they could talked a bit more and perhaps even pray
