This life we live, a gentle, fleeting grace,
A wayside stop, along a timeless way,
A brief sweet pause, in this enchanted space,
Before we journey to eternal day.
Through varied lands, our different paths unfold,
Each soul to learn the lessons meant for it,
No earthly anchor meant to truly hold,
Our spirits destined for a higher fit.
A grander home awaits beyond our sight,
A destination vast, beyond compare,
Some journeys swift, some bathed in softer light,
As measured steps lead us to meet Him there.
And when the final earthly moment's done,
A great reward, a peace beyond all thought,
An everlasting rest, forever won,
Together with the Lord, sincerely sought.

A long journey to a destination long anticipated. I have learned through many trips to enjoy the scenery along the way for it is often the best part. A most enchanting write my friend.
Thank you, Sorenbarrett, I really appreciate your comment. It means a lot to me that you're correct to enjoy the view, but I wrote this as an old lady getting prepared to leave to go to her home!
You are welcome
Well hurry up then....😂🤣
Very lovely and soothing, albeit I must beg to differ with the first lines since Job and etc say quite the opposite and I concur with him since I've known no better despite my proclivity for believing all is better than all know. Prettily rendered with seemingly delicate imagery and a poignancy which belies its weightiness. Thank you for sharing.
This is a beautiful and comforting piece. It gently captures the journey of life and the hope of eternal peace with heartfelt grace. Wonderfully written!
Beautiful but we won’t rest for he has a job for us. He never gets tired and never stops working and we won’t as well.
