The journey of life is just a path. <br />On earth to lead our way, <br />A place to stop and rest awaile, <br />For we were never meant to stay. <br /> <br />The journey of life is a stepping stone, <br />On this path to greater things, <br />Life is not an empty dream, <br />If we rejoice in all it brings. <br /> <br />Each step we take will bring us closer, <br />When our journey in life will end, <br />And time for some is fleeting, <br />Time for others will extend. <br /> <br />Though the journey is not easy, <br />Loved one's will take our hand, <br />To guide us in life's journey, <br />With their footprints in the sand. <br /> <br />Our journey on earth to Heaven, <br />Will be measured by our deeds, <br />By how we have treated others, <br />And cared for others needs. <br /> <br />The journey is different for many, <br />But the destination is the same, <br />For eternity will await us all, <br />When God calls out our name. <br />By <br />Richard Netherland Cook<br /><br />Richard Netherland Cook<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-journey-of-life-8/
