A Dusty Road Have I Walked

A dusty road have I walked, over the many years I have lived, seeing many friends along the way, that is no longer here. Life passes us by so rapidly, time does not stand still for anyone. Family fading away to just memories now I have of most of them. A dusty road have I walked, over many years now in the past. Was my life lived in vain? Or will I be just a memory and a name on a tombstone, to be forgotten along the dusty road that I walked. Written 8-8-11

A relevant view of lifes path.. Or paths rather James, I will say all people will be forgotten by this world, which itself will pass away 'and it be forgotton' by God so then its better to be 'unknown' by the world.. And yet be known by God; who is eternal.. There is true value.' Good to read this today James..)

well James my theory is we are here for just a little while to accomplish our purpose and once we do we are removed.. simple yet so hard to understand at times when loved ones are removed from us.. nice reminisce luv..
