" END OF STRIFE " MY PHOTO, ©

The Serene Valley

From, my age's snow-covered mountaintop, 

I discern into the horizon of my life 

the serene valley of welcoming death 

where ends all of humanity's strife!

Yes Demetrios your extraordinary faith is shown here my friend. Genius metaphors that convey an impressive knowledge of scripture. Knowing full well the glory of heaven and the surrounding love from God. Arriving into a new and welcoming place of no strife. It's ironic most people fear death. When you know Gods words and where he prepares a place for you, you don't fear it but embrace it. Another favorite Demetrios. God Bless You...

Final? I do not think so my friend, Vijay! Who knows what our Lord has in store for our souls! Keep well. Thank you!

After that lifetime journey the missing pieces of life's jigsaw are found and we see things clearer as the answers we've been searching for are in our grasp. It will be a time of great joy and nothing to fear. Tom
