At the Top of the Stairway

As you came upon the stairway
no tear was found before stepping on
You did not tremble nor did you pause
You knew your life would not be gone

Much courage and strength to make that climb
By faith and trust which showed you how
As you became nearer to thee you close your eyes
Upon being gratified you made your bow

You knew your journey was going to begin
Yet made it clear that you were strong
Reaching that last step is now your beginning
You are now there, where you belong

Tomorrow will be here and you will be there
in a new realm of ageless time and certainty
A gift that only God can give
This blessing is upon you now and for eternity
