Curtis Moorman Poet Rhyme

Distant Shores

DISTANT SHORES

As I stand on the distant shores 
Overlooking the sea of my life
I see there before me
Happiness mingled with strife

The happiness is the joy of family
The strife, the loss of the same
I can see them all very clearly
And call them each by name

Most of them are like strangers
Yet as I see each one in review
They all have a family resemblance
Like old friends I felt I knew

As I survey their faces
And they in turn see me
They beckon me to follow
And live eternally

Now on the distant shores
Of Jordan's stormy banks
I stand in awe of glory
And give God all my thanks

He beckons me to enter
And meet His Only Son
So I'll cross those distant shores
When life on earth is done
