Stepping Stones In Life
I write the following as a letter to myself
For future reference.
I have allowed my passage through life
To be a journey, and so will I continue
Enjoying every second, every minute as the clock ticks
And I go to bed and wake up and do the same
All over again,
And all too soon days, become weeks, become
Months, and then years, which become decades
As I celebrate every New year, remembering
The memories I have made on this wonderful
Trip that we know as life, and the family and
Friends that have passed, and as I look in the
Mirror, I suddenly realize this is perhaps my last few
Moments, minutes, weeks, perhaps months, or a
Year or two left and I hope that I will
Go to heaven, maybe so, for it is only the evil that pay
The price, and it comes at a high cost.
These Human beings, have they repented, or are they
Evil because they know that if they ask for forgiveness
It shall be given, that is what we have been told,
But God is a wrathful God and wanted an eye for an
Eye and a tooth for a tooth,
Would I not want this also if harm came upon my
Loved ones – would I not be revengeful and wrathful,
I think I would, but does that make me bad and not
Made in the image of God. I think not.
I love God and try hard to be an example to others
Unable to clutch at the secrets of today’s happiness.
When I hear, the good, the kind, the loving, the
Giving, the faithful, tears come to my eyes, and
It is like music to my soul, a mere glance at such
A human being brings me comfort and joy,
And a bare soul can convey to me more than any
Alphabet of any language, be wise dear friends,
And grasp at every opportunity in this life, so that
Each one of us, make humanity worth living.
