Recessional

Life is but a stopping place,

a pause in what’s to be,

a resting place along the road

to sweet eternity.

We all have different journeys,

different paths along the way

we all were meant to

learn some things,

But never meant to stay.

Our destination is a place

Far greater than we know,

For some, the journey’s quicker,

For some the journey’s slow.

And when the journey finally ends,

We’ll claim a great reward,

And find an everlasting peace,

Together with the Lord.
