My Final Words

MY FINAL WORDS Where I am going, I'll always be Yes, I'll be there for eternity If you would care to go with me The price is paid, the trip is free For there was a man rich beyond measure Who opted to give up his every treasure And come to earth in the form of a man To teach the world how to understand That He loved mankind more than life And was willing to die to rid their strife He died a cruel death on Calvary's Cross Prayed to the Father that none would be lost So if you're interested in taking this trip Listen closely to me and I'll give you a tip Ask this Man, Jesus, to set you free And join me in Heaven for eternity 20 June 2018 For the contest sponsored by Gregory Barden

Thank you so much, Greg. I pray it will be a long time before any 'final words' are spoken over me but I am glad you sponsored this contest. There were many superb entries and I am honored to have been given a fourth place win.

Thanks, Charlie! I have literally lived my life up to this point in twenty year increments. That being the case, I'm still looking at a few more good years. So, I hope you hang around long enough to see me go, or vice-versa.
