The Journey

Maybe not in this life, but surely the next….
Our feet will not grow weary
Our eyes will not grow teary
Maybe not in this life, but surely the next…
Our paths will be rewarded
Our steps forward unthwarted 
Perhaps still in this life and surely in the next…
Love will be revisited
Our thirst for it uninhibited
Perhaps still in this life and surely in the next…
Our dreams will see fruition
And peace will find its mission

Perhaps we will if we are still. And let God do his thing. And if we're quiet and don't make a riot, we'll hear the angels sing. The rest is just an earthly blur. The more I live, the more I'm sure. Nice inspiration Debra. Thanks.

A nice poem serenading the days of our life. A nice nexus between the mortal realm and the eternal realm.
